mortality/aging
• most mice die within 3 months with some surviving for 5 to 6 months
|
nervous system
• by 1 month, 7 of 10 mice exhibit seizures with one death during status epilepticus
• some mice exhibit hand-washing motion at the end of a seizure
|
• mice exhibit abnormal activities during ictal electroencephalogram with positive spikes in the hippocampus and negative spikes in the frontal cortex and striatum followed by diffuse spike bursts
|
• 88% of Arx+ GABAergic cells that migrate in wild-type mice reach the cortical plate by P0
• at P0, tangential migration of SST+ GABAergic neurons is suppressed compared to in wild-type mice
|
• severe in the cortex and striatum
|
• at 1 month, cholinergic neurons in the striatum, medial septum, and ventral forebrain nuclei are reduced compared to in wild-type mice
|
behavior/neurological
• compared to wild-type mice that is worse than in Arxtm3Kki homozygotes
|
• mice exhibit impaired spatial learning in a win-shift task on the 8-arm radial maze compared with wild-type mice that is worse than in Arxtm3Kki homozygotes
• in a win-stay task, mice exhibit higher unlit-to-lit ratio throughout training compared with wild-type mice
• abnormal spatial learning is independent of hyperactivity and anxiety-like behaviors
|
• by 1 month, 7 of 10 mice exhibit seizures with one death during status epilepticus
• some mice exhibit hand-washing motion at the end of a seizure
|
• mice exhibit abnormal activities during ictal electroencephalogram with positive spikes in the hippocampus and negative spikes in the frontal cortex and striatum followed by diffuse spike bursts
|
cellular
• 88% of Arx+ GABAergic cells that migrate in wild-type mice reach the cortical plate by P0
• at P0, tangential migration of SST+ GABAergic neurons is suppressed compared to in wild-type mice
