nervous system
• small reduction in total brain volume
|
• decrease in total cortical volume
• however, cell number and distribution are similar to wild-type controls
|
• thinner in the parietal, somatosensory and auditory regions at 5 days of age
|
• thin
|
• in dorsal and dorsolateral cortical areas, including the secondary motor, somatosensory, parietal, retrosplenial granular and visual and auditory cortex
|
• thin parietal cortex
|
• thin
|
• thin
|
• cortical neurons show extensive formation of actin-rich lamellipodia and filopodia in culture
|
• strong reduction in the dendritic complexity but no difference is seen in the number of primary dendrites in layer II/III pyramidal neurons but not in layer V neurons
