behavior/neurological

behavior/neurological phenotype ( J:70560 )

N • normal locomotor capabilities in rotarod treadmill test

N • normal locomotion

increased grooming behavior ( J:70560 )

• persistent grooming of dorsal hind limb, beginning at 3 to 4 weeks of age

• resulted in fur loss and skin lesions

hyporesponsive to tactile stimuli ( J:70560 )

• using von Frey filaments

increased chemical nociceptive threshold ( J:70560 )

• reduced responses to capsaicin and to formalin

increased thermal nociceptive threshold ( J:70560 )

• higher latency inn tail-flick test

• higher latency in paw withdrawal tests of thermal sensitivity

• prolonged latency in hot plate test

embryo

abnormal embryonic tissue morphology ( J:70560 )

• embryos showed delayed projections of primary sensory afferents in the dorsal horn, selectively affecting cutaneous afferents

• normal differentiation and development of sensory neurons of the dorsal root ganglia

nervous system

abnormal sensory neuron morphology ( J:70560 )

• loss of neurons in the dorsal horn, especially the lateral-most region

• 60% - 70% loss of dorsal horn neurons at the lumbar level

• no such loss in the ventral horn

abnormal sensory neuron innervation pattern ( J:70560 )

• embryos showed delayed projections of primary sensory afferents in the dorsal horn, selectively affecting cutaneous afferents

• normal differentiation and development of sensory neurons of the dorsal root ganglia
