Histological analysis of brains of Foxp2^tm1Bux and wild type mice

mortality/aging

nervous system

abnormal radial glial cell morphology ( J:99864 )

abnormal cerebellum external granule cell layer morphology ( J:99864 )

abnormal cerebellar Purkinje cell layer ( J:99864 )

• Purkinje cells frequently fail to align in a continuous row, often forming a layer that is several cells thick with ectopic ells in the granule cell layer

abnormal Purkinje cell dendrite morphology ( J:99864 )
