behavior/neurological
• in a context fear test, mice display significantly less freezing to the conditioned stimulus 24 hours after the training period but not 1 hour after
• 7-8 week old mice take more time and swim further to locate a submerged but visible platform in a morris water test during the first 6 trials
• mice perform as wells as wild-type controls in later trials
• 7-8 week old mice take more time and swim further to locate a hidden platform in a morris water test regardless of trial number
• mice have a clasping phenotype when lifted by the tail starting at 9 weeks of age
• evident by 20 weeks of age
• retention time in a rotarod test is impaired by about half for both 5 and 7 week old mice
• evident by 20 weeks of age

nervous system
• brain weight is significantly reduced by 16 weeks of age
• all ventricles are dilated by 40 weeks of age
• there is a reduction in dendritic arbor of cerebellar Purkinje neurons from mice 6 to 11 weeks of age
• this reduction in dendritic arbor leads to a reduction in membrane capacitance
• significantly fewer Purkinje cells are present in 40-week old mice compared to wild-type littermates
• ubiquitinated neuronal intranuclear inclusions (NI) are present in CA1 hippocampal neurons by 7 weeks of age
• NI are also present in cortical neurons and thalamic nuclei by 7 weeks of age
• NI are present in numerous parts of the brain during the endstage of disease
• EPSP magnitude is significantly decreased in the hippocampus 90 minutes after high-frequency stimulation
• hippocampus LTP is significantly reduced in 24 week old mice

muscle
• muscle wasting is evident by 20 weeks of age
• atrophy of lower limb muscles occurs by 30 weeks of age

skeleton
