• peripheral nerves lack Schwann cell nuclei at E12.5 and contain essentially only naked axons that are smaller in diameter than in controls
• Schwann cell precursors along the projections of sensory and motoneurons do not form
• degeneration of motoneurons; number of motoneurons are somewhat reduced on cervical, but not on thoracic or lumbar, axial levels at E15.5 and by E18.5, significant loss of notoneurons is seen on cervical and lumbar axial levels
• degeneration of sensory and sympathetic neurons
• only remnants of cranial ganglia and their projections are seen
• satellite cells are absent in the nodose ganglion
• dorsal root ganglia form broad fusions with the lateral neural tube, which contain, inappropriately, neurons
