mortality/aging
• died within 2 hours of birth

behavior/neurological
• were only weakly responsive to tactile stimulation
• showed little spontaneous movement

nervous system
• segregation of neuronal subtypes to sublayers within the cortical plate was disordered
• the subplate was poorly defined
• forebrain was noticeably smaller
• the cerebral ventricle was enlarged at E19
• neurons from the hippocampus grown in culture failed to form distinct axons and dendrites and exhibited polarization defects, showing neurites that were relatively uniform in length and branching complexity
• cortex was abnormally thin at E19 however it contained the main cortical cell types
• increased apoptosis in the cerebral cortex
• cortical neurons did not extend long axons from the cortex to the thalamus and TAG-1+ corticothalamic axons were absent in mutants
• neurons from the cortex grown in culture failed to form distinct axons and dendrites and exhibited polarization defects, showing neurites that were relatively uniform in length and branching complexity
• neurons often had a starburst morphology or processes that ran diagonally or tangentially rather than radially, and axons were difficult to distinguish from dendrites
• cortical neurons did not extend long axons from the cortex to the thalamus and TAG-1+ corticothalamic axons were absent in mutants
• neurons from the cerebral cortex and the hippocampus grown in culture failed to form distinct axons and dendrites

cellular
• cortical neurons did not extend long axons from the cortex to the thalamus and TAG-1+ corticothalamic axons were absent in mutants
