mortality/aging
• homozygotes die before reaching adulthood
|
behavior/neurological
• homozygotes do not respond to painful stimuli at birth
|
nervous system
• as a result of the increase in proprioceptive neurons the number of muscle spindles is increased 2 - 3 fold in some muscle groups
|
• the overall number of sensory neurons is decreased however the number of proprioceptive neurons is increased compared to Ntrk1tm1Apat homozygotes
