nervous system
• in the cerebral cortex
|
• migration of cerebral cortical neurons is continuously altered with neurons born at E13.5 distributed in all layers of the cortex
• somal translocation appears normal but later born neurons, that migrate along radial glial fibers, are randomly distributed
|
• impaired in vivo
• in vitro migration is not enhanced by a BDNF gradient and not inhibited by SLIT2; however, in vitro basal migration and neurite outgrowth is similar to wild-type controls
• actin reorganization following BDNF or SLIT2 treatment is abnormal
|
• dentate granule cells are less densely packed at P30
|
• disorganized lamination
• marked invasion of the stratum oriens by pyramidal cells in the CA1 region at P30
|
• dentate granule cells are less densely packed at P30
|
• diffusely split pyramidal cells in the CA3 region
|
• at P20
• marked invasion of the stratum oriens by pyramidal cells in the CA1 region at P30
|
• disorganized lamination with blurred or indistinct boundaries between layers
• neuronal populations are highly intermingled
• at E15.5 the subplate layer is not visible
|
• decrease in the number of post mitotic neurons, especially in areas 1 and 2
|
• disorganized lamination
|
• mitral cells are scattered failing to form a single layer
|
• disorganized lamination
|
• at P20
|
• at P20
|
behavior/neurological
• decrease in the latency to fall and an increase in the number of falls in a rotarod assay
|
• longer hind limb stride
|
growth/size/body
• gradual
|
reproductive system
• crosses of homozygous mice are unsuccessful
• however, homozygotes are fertile when crossed to heterozygous or wild-type mice
