behavior/neurological
• first observable at weaning but milder than in Spnb4Gt(ROSABetageo)62Sor homozygotes
|
nervous system
• neurons in the cerebral cortex, hippocampus and cerebral cortex exhibit wavy ankyrin G staining patterns of their axonal initial segments (AIS)
• AIS membranes are destabilized
|
• plasma membranes at the Node of Ranvier in the optic nerve are wavy, swollen and lack the fuzzy electron-dense undercoating present in wild-type mice
|
reproductive system
N |
• mice are fertile unlike male Spnb4Gt(ROSABetageo)62Sor homozygotes
