• the number of neuroblasts in the cortex is reduced compared to in wild-type mice
• at E16.5, neuron progenitor apoptosis in the tectal mantle layer is increased compared to in wild-type mice
• neurosphere apoptosis is increased compared to in wild-type mice
• differentiation of neurospheres in culture is blocked compared to cultured wild-type cells
|
• mice exhibit a reduction in the number of cells in regions of the brain occupied by committed progenitors and differentiated cells compared with wild-type mice
• areas containing immature cells exhibit normal or increased numbers of cells compared to in wild-type mice
|
• the intermediate zone contains fewer cells than in wild-type mice
|
• the cortical plate contains fewer cells than in wild-type mice
|
• the cerebellar anlage contains fewer cells than in wild-type mice
|
• the midbrain tectum, especially the tectal mantle, contains fewer cells than in wild-type mice
