• despite loss of dopaminergic neurons in the olfactory periglomular cell layer, mice do not exhibit an increase in apoptosis in the rostral migratory stream
• in culture, neurospheres exhibit a greater percent of cells expressing GFAP compared to wild-type cells indicating premature astroglial differentiation
• in culture, neurospheres are small and exhibit slower growth and decreased S-phase populations compared to wild-type cells
• the internal plexiform layer (IPL) was reduced in size and disorganized compared to in wild-type mice
• the IPL exhibits loss of dendrodendritic fibers compared to in wild-type mice likely due to a loss of granular interneurons
• however, olfactory bulbs exhibit normal numbers of mitral, tufted and oligodendroglia cells, and CR+ GABAergic neurons
• the number of NeuN+ interneurons is decreased in the granular cell layer and IPL compared to in wild-type mice
• the number of GFAP+ astroglial cells in the granular cell layer is increased compared to in wild-type mice
• TH+ dopaminergic neurons are depleted 40% in the periglomerular cell layer of the olfactory bulb compared to in wild-type mice
• the number of GFAP+ cells with astrocytic morphology in the inner granular and germinal layers of the olfactory bulb emanating from the rostral migratory stream is increased compared to in wild-type mice
• the rostral migratory stream is decrease in diameter and GFAP/BrdU ectopic cells are found outside of the stream unlike in wild-type mice
• unlike in wild-type mice, elongated cells are absent from the rostral migratory stream
• however, the number of neural progenitor cells is normal
• olfactory bulb size is diminished without alteration to brain size
• TH+ dopaminergic neurons are depleted 40% in the periglomerular cell layer of the olfactory bulb compared to in wild-type mice

taste/olfaction
• mice exhibit defects in olfactory memory and discrimination compared to wild-type mice
• however, olfactory sensitivity is normal

cellular
• in culture, neurospheres exhibit a greater percent of cells expressing GFAP compared to wild-type cells indicating premature astroglial differentiation
• in culture, neurospheres are small and exhibit slower growth and decreased S-phase populations compared to wild-type cells
