mortality/aging
• begin to die around P10 with all dead by P17
• treatment with phenytoin to temporarily prevent seizures does not improve survival
|
behavior/neurological
• stand and walk on stiff limbs
|
• stand and walk on stiff limbs
|
• induced by gentle handling and by disturbance from movement of the dam or littermates
• injection of diazepam relieved the immediate seizure (caused by handling) but did not prevent future seizures
• treatment with phenytoin prevented seizures until P12 - P13 and while effective improved growth of the mice but does not improve survival
|
nervous system
• induced by gentle handling and by disturbance from movement of the dam or littermates
• injection of diazepam relieved the immediate seizure (caused by handling) but did not prevent future seizures
• treatment with phenytoin prevented seizures until P12 - P13 and while effective improved growth of the mice but does not improve survival
|
• reduced density in the hippocampus and overlying retrosplenial cortex
|
• at 10 to 14 days of age, hippocampal slices stimulated at a 0.1 Hz display multiple population spikes, unlike wild-type mice which display a single population spike, and the amplitude of the shortest latency spike is significantly decreased
|
growth/size/body
• reduced growth rate that can be temporarily improved by treatment with phenytoin to prevent seizures
