behavior/neurological
• by females
|
• behavioral symptoms preceed neuropathology which becomes intense and widespread at 4 months of age
|
abnormal gait
(
J:85298
)
• gait abnormalities develop by 1 year of age, with smaller stride lengths
|
• develops by 1 year of age
|
• males do not display the high level of climbing activity shown by control males
|
• the observed hyperactivity is followed by hypoactivity at 4 months of age
(J:85298)
• less time spent on a running wheel during the light phase
(J:141673)
|
• females do more dark phase running than controls
|
• increase in rearing at 1 month of age
|
• increase in locomotor activity and rearing at 1 month of age
|
nervous system
• exhibit neuropathological aggregates of mutant protein in various regions of the brain that appear several months after the onset of behavioral symptoms
• regions in which nuclear and neuropil aggregates are found include the striatum, cerebral cortex, hippocampus, pallidum, globus pallidus, and amygdala
|
taste/olfaction
• exhibit the progressive appearance of neuropathological mutant protein aggregates in the olfactory tubercle, olfactory bulb, anterior olfactory nucleus, piriform cortex, and entorhinal cortex
|
growth/size/body
• female mice weigh less than controls
