hearing/vestibular/ear
• mice exhibit a defect in rapid auditory processing as determined by silent gap test
|
nervous system
• total brain volume is increased by 10% as compared to controls
• volumes of individual regions (cerebellum, hippocampus, striatum, neocortex) are slightly but nonsignifcantly larger than controls
|
• partial callosal agenesis
• midsagittal area of the corpus callosum is decreased by 50%
• decrease in callosal and cingulum fibers
|
• decrease in cingulum fibers
|
• bilateral nodular subcortical heterotopia comprised of neurons (CUX1+) destined for layers 2-4 of the neocortex
• heterotopia is located at the border between the retrosplenial cortex and somatosensory cortical regions
• heterotopia comprises 1.5 to 3% of neocortical volume
• neurons appear in heterotopia during mid to late gestation
|
behavior/neurological
N |
• mice perform similar to wild-type in tests for coordination (rotarod) and learning/memory (water maze)
