mortality/aging
• most die within 24 hours with a few (3 of 300 total) surviving for 7 - 15 days
|
nervous system
• fail to form spindles
|
• at P0, about a 50% decrease in cell number is detected without any increase in pyknotic neurons
|
• loss of 56% of sensory neurons
|
• group Ia afferents appear to be absent
|
• small diameter fusimotor axons are absent in the ventral roots of lumbar nerves
• elevated apoptosis of motor neurons between 13.5 and E15.5
