mortality/aging
• neonatal mice die within 24 hours of birth
|
nervous system
• dendritic spines of hippocampal neurons are more elongated compared to wild-type mice; this can be rescued with reintroduction of Magi2 into neurons
• filopodia density of neurons is larger in mutant mice (13.4 filopodia per 30 um vs 8.3 in wild-type neurons)
• mutant dendritic spines do not retract in neuronal cultures treated with NMDA, in contrast to treated wild-type neurons
