mortality/aging
• at 4 weeks

nervous system
• the external granule cell layer persists longer than in wild-type mice
|
• mice exhibit an increased in TH-immunoreactive neurons in the deep cortical layers compared to in wild-type mice indicative of a delay in development
|
• mice exhibit abundant focal axonal swelling unlike in wild-type mice
|
• mice exhibit sensitivity of excitatory postsynaptic potential to omega-CTx-GVIA blockage and 4-APP stimulation compared to in similarly treated wild-type mice
|
• total current density of calcium ion channels is reduced compared to in wild-type mice
• omega-CTx-MVIIC-sensitive and P/Q currents of calcium ion channels are decreased compared to in wild-type mice
• calcium ion channel current density in Purkinje cells is decrease compared to in wild-type mice
• while P-type channel activity is eliminated, L-type and N-type calcium ion channel activity are increased compared to in wild-type mice
|
behavior/neurological
• older mice exhibit prolonged and less successful attempts at righting compared to in wild-type mice
|
• after 10 days, mice exhibit lose of balance when walking and roll onto their backs unlike wild-type mice
• falling while walking worsens with age and by P20 mice cannot walk
|
• after 10 days, mice exhibit lose of balance when walking that worsens with again and roll onto their backs unlike wild-type mice

muscle spasm
(
J:59076
)
• older mice exhibit extensor spasms of the hindlimbs during righting effort unlike in wild-type mice
