nervous system
• some olfactory neurons project to two glomeruli or pass through the glomerular layer and terminate in the external plaxiform instead of terminating in the olfactory bulb glomeruli as in wild-type
• arborizations of some olfactory axons are not restricted to a glomerulus, delimited by the periglomerular cell populations, but extend outside this cellular border
• Background Sensitivity: after backcrossing to C57BL/6 for 10 generations, mutants exhibit an enlargement of the lateral ventricles
• mossy fibers invade the CA3 pyramidal cell layer forming a network between the suprapyramidal and infrapyramidal bundles
• projection pattern of some sensory olfactory neurons is altered in the olfactory bulb

behavior/neurological
• mutants spend more time (52%) in the central area of the open field test compared to wild-type (36%) and move a shorter total distance, indicating changes in the exploratory behavior or reduced anxiety in novel environment
• mutants show differences in the Morris water maze with respect to the path swimming parallel to the wall and increased swim path tortuosity, absolute spin, and time spent in the center quadrant, indicating altered exploratory behavior, however spatial learning is not impaired
• mutants spend more time (52%) in the central area of the open field test compared to wild-type (36%) and move a shorter total distance, indicating changes in the exploratory behavior or reduced anxiety in novel environment
• in the elevated plus maze, mutants enter the open arm more often, spend less time in the closed arm, and stay longer in the central part of the maze, however, no difference in the light-dark avoidance test is observed

craniofacial
• some olfactory neurons project to two glomeruli or pass through the glomerular layer and terminate in the external plaxiform instead of terminating in the olfactory bulb glomeruli as in wild-type

• Background Sensitivity: mutants on a mixed 129P2/OlaHsd and C57BL/6 background do not show enlargement of the lateral ventricles until they have been backcrossed to C57BL/6 for 10 generations
• some olfactory neurons project to two glomeruli or pass through the glomerular layer and terminate in the external plaxiform instead of terminating in the olfactory bulb glomeruli as in wild-type
• arborizations of some olfactory axons are not restricted to a glomerulus, delimited by the periglomerular cell populations, but extend outside this cellular border
• mossy fiber organization is altered, with some axons forming small bundles or traveling as individual thin mossy fibers through the CA3 region, forming a network between the suprapyramidal and infrapyramidal bundles

• stellate axons appear thinner, more wavy, with significantly altered orientation and trajectories compared to controls at P40
• stellate axons display reduced association with Bergmann glial fibers and a reduction of vertically oriented branches
• at P44, density of symmetric synapses at Purkinje dendrites is reduced by 60%; density of symmetric synapses at Purkinje dendrites is reduced by 40% at P30
• stellate axons appear thinner, more wavy, with significantly altered orientation and trajectories compared to controls at P40
• stellate axons display reduced association with Bergmann glial (BG) fibers and a reduction of vertically oriented branches, with >30% of stellate axon branches associated with BG fibers; this is apparent at P16 and P20
