nervous system
• vacuolization predominates in gray matter and is associated with neuronal loss, but preservation of architecture
• by 11 to 12 months of age, many brain regions exhibit moderate to severe astrocytosis
• progressive spongy degeneration, first apparent in the hippocampus CA3 region at 2 months of age, however no amyloid plaques are found (J:81466)
• vacuolization predominates in gray matter and is associated with neuronal loss, but preservation of architecture (J:81466)
• affected regions include cerebral cortex, hippocampus, thalamus, brain stem, caudate-putamen, and cerebellum granule layer (J:81466)
• adult-onset spongy degeneration of the central nervous system (J:116645)
