mortality/aging
nervous system
• motor axons exhibit decreased axonal diameter and are irregularly swollen with alternating narrow segments compared with wild-type axons
• mice exhibit alteration of preterminal axons of motor endplates compared with wild-type mice
|
• intermodal length is slightly decreased compared to in wild-type mice
|
• myelin thickness is increased compared to in wild-type mice
|
• nerves exhibit transient temperature sensitive hyperexcitability compared with wild-type nerves
• however, nerve conduction is normal
|
behavior/neurological
N |
• mice exhibit normal grip strength and nociception
|
• mice exhibit slight gait abnormalities with short stride length and increased alternation coefficient compared with wild-type mice
• however, stride width is normal
