Analysis Tools
vision/eye

• impaired visual function indicated by the visual cliff avoidance test: mutants often cross the cliff edge without hesitation and show no preference for either side of the box

nervous system
|
• reduced thalamocortical synaptic interactions
|
|
• thalamthalamocortical projections are similar to controls at P0, but by P3, axonal bundles projecting from the thalamus through the cortical white matter are reducedcortical projections are similar to controls at P0, but by P3, thalamocortical projection is reduced
• reduction in the number of lateral geniculate nucleus projections to the visual cortex and anteroventral and laterodorsal nuclei projections to retrosplenial cortex
