nervous system
N |
• no obvious defects are present in the neuroarchitecture of the CNS, including brain stem regions that are implicated in regulating respiration, swallowing and in cardiac function
|
• cultured granule neuron cells from mutant mice show a depressed response to glutamate at low concentrations
|
• cultured granule neuron cells and hippocampal neurons from mutant mice do not respond to NMDA; intracellular calcium and membrane currents are abolished
