cellular
• primary neuronal cultures from the neocortex and cerebellum exhibit higher levels of apoptosis than wild-type cultures
• mutants exhibit a higher number of TUNEL-positive neurons in the medial neocortex and cerebellum than wild-type mice
• marker analysis indicates that mutants exhibit a delay in neuronal differentiation

nervous system
• primary neuronal cultures from the neocortex and cerebellum exhibit higher levels of apoptosis than wild-type cultures
• mutants exhibit a higher number of TUNEL-positive neurons in the medial neocortex and cerebellum than wild-type mice
