mortality/aging
• despite being present in Mendelian ratios at E15, mice die before birth

nervous system
N |
• neuron proliferation in the central nervous system is normal
|
• poorly vascularized brains corresponding to regions of increased apoptosis
• abnormal vascular patterning and larger vessel diameter at E16.5 and E18.5
• glomeruloid terminal structures form in the subventricular zone
|
• at E13.5 in the dorsal root ganglion at the thoracic and lumbar levels affecting all neuronal subtypes
• at E14.5 in vestibular and glossopharyngeal ganglia
• at E15.5 and E16.5 in the ventral neuroepithelium, retina, thalamus and cortex
• at E18.5 in the neuroepithelium, subventricular zone, cingulum and dorsal subiculum of the hippocampus, cortex, caudate putamen, ventroposterolateral and medial thalamic nuclei and nucleus reuniens
• more severe during development
|
• hippocampal nerves exhibit altered response to BDNF with increased axonal length, number of dendrites, decreased branching dendrites and decreased dendrite length compared with wild-type cells
• however, axonal growth in response to BDNF is normal
|
• at E18.5
|
• at E18.5
|
• in the lumbar spinal cord at E18.5
|
• increased number of axon branches and axonal length in untreated neurons
• however, axonal growth in response to BDNF is normal
|
• hippocampal nerves exhibit altered response to BDNF with increased axonal length, number of dendrites, decreased branching dendrites and decreased dendrite length compared with wild-type cells
|
• impaired BDNF-induced excitatory postsynaptic current potentiation
• however, mice exhibit normal excitatory postsynaptic current amplitude and paired-pulse potentiation

cardiovascular system
• poorly vascularized brains corresponding to regions of increased apoptosis
