nervous system
N |
• the cerebral cortex exhibits normal layer structure
|
• variably narrower than in wild-type mice starting at P5
• narrower in the presumptive somatosensory cortex than the motor cortex
• the marginal zone and primitive marginal zone is disorganized with blurred borders compared to in wild-type mice
• however, width is normal during embryonic stages and distribution of interneurons is normal
|
• split into 2 layers
|
• the dentate granule cell layer is less packed than in wild-type mice
|
• neurons extend into the marginal zone, first evident at P3
• however, localization of neurons in deeper layer are largely normal
|
behavior/neurological
N |
• unlike the reeler mouse, mice do not exhibit ataxia
