mortality/aging
• complete mortality of homozygous mice at birth
|
nervous system
• both corticothalamic and thalamocortical axons aberrantly arrived at their respective targets at least 1 day earlier than controls
|
• axon pathfinding defects included dysgenesis of the corpus callosum and hippocampal commissure, and abnormalities in corticothalamic and thalamocortical targeting
|
• significantly more interneurons (up to twice as many at E12.5 and E15.5) migrated into the cortex in both rostral and parietal regions, but not caudal cortex
|
• mis-projection of axons resulting in callosal axons and axons of the hippocampal commissure forming tight fascicles
|
• reduction in the size of the corpus callosum was observed in the mid-sagittal plane
|
• disruption of hippocampal commissure tracts was evident in E17 and E18 embryo brains
• mis-projection of axons resulting in callosal axons and axons of the hippocampal commissure forming tight fascicles
|
• reduction in the size of the hippocampal commissure was observed in the mid-sagittal plane
