mortality/aging
• mice live for a median period of 204 days
|
behavior/neurological
• mice exhibit impaired rotarod performance at 4 months of age and perform significantly more poorly at 6 months of age compared to the other lines
|
• mice show reduced rearing at 4 and 5 months of age, with the greatest reduction compared to the other lines
|
• mice show reduced number of floor plan moves in the open field at 5 months of age
|
nervous system
• expression of DARPP-32, a maker of medium spiny neurons, in the striatum is reduced in 4 month old mice
|
• striatum and cortex exhibit aggregation of HTT at 4 months of age indicating neuronal pathology
