mortality/aging
• no survival beyond the expected time of birth
• body size was normal however
|
nervous system
• various fiber tracts are hypoplastic
|
• increased size
• does not connect the cerebral hemispheres
|
• abnormal folding of the inferior olivary complex
|
• layering in hippocampus and other parts of the brain similar to that in cerebral cortex
|
• molecular layer of cerebral cortex thinner than in wild-type and other layers are unclear or diffuse
|
• retarded outgrowth of spinal nerves at embryonic day E12
• delayed generation of neurons in more superficial layers of central nervous system
|
• neurite lengths in culture shorter than normal
• microtubules of neurons more dispersed with less tendancy to form bundles
• spacing between microtubules is reduced
