nervous system
• the average size of unmyelinated axons in the sciatic nerve is smaller than in wild-type mice
|
• myelin of axons ranging in size is thinner than in wild-type mice
|
• mice exhibit impaired myelination
• the number of unmyelinated axons in the Remak bundles in sciatic nerves is increased compared to in wild-type mice
• the percentage of pockets containing more axons is increased in the sciatic nerve compared to in wild-type mice
• however, mice exhibit normal radical sorting, myelin initiation, and compaction are normal

behavior/neurological
• the sensory threshold, smallest strength of Von Frey Hair to generate 80% hind paw response, is increased compared to in wild-type mice
