behavior/neurological
• unilateral stimulation of the motor cortex leads to exclusively bilateral "EMG" and hind limb flexion
|
• synchronous hind limb movement, rabbit like hopping gait
|
nervous system
N |
• normal overall brain architecture
• axonal projections of proprioceptive neurons are normal
|
• motor cortex axons resistant to ephrinA1 induced growth cone collapse
|
• increased number of lumbar region interneurons cross the midline
|
• extensive bilateral terminations within the gray matter of the corticospinal tract
|
muscle
• unilateral stimulation of the motor cortex leads to bilateral electromyography (EMG) and hind limb flexion in mutant mice, while controls exhibit unilateral EMG and hind limb flexion
