N normal phenotype
behavior/neurological
• begins at 24 weeks of age
• decrease in activity progresses to akinesia
• mice become less alert and less exploratory at about 24 weeks of age, regardless of whether they previously showed hyperactivity
• decrease in activity lasts 4-6 weeks and progresses to locomotor deterioration and akinesia
• begins at 24 weeks of age
• begins at 24 weeks of age
• 10 of 24 mice show stereotypy beginning at 24 weeks of age, consisting of generalized hyperactive behavior, including unidirectional rotations, backflips, and excessive grooming
• lack of response to sensory stimuli precedes death
• mice exhibit feet clasping following suspension by their tails at 8 weeks of age and from then on throughout life

growth/size/body
• mice do not gain weight when they become hyperactive

nervous system
• focal gliosis in the hippocampus, thalamus, and cerebral cortex
• fibrillary astrocytosis, which is most evident in hypokinetic and akinetic mice
• astocytosis is most prominent in the striata
• neuronal loss, which is most evident in hypokinetic and akinetic mice
• neuronal loss is most prominent in the striata, but is also seen in the hippocampus, thalamus, and cerebral cortex
• however, no evidence of degeneration of Purkinje or granule cells
• neuronal intranuclear inclusions are seen in neurons of the striatum, cerebral cortex, hippocampus, thalamus, and cerebellum, and some Purkinje cells; less than 1% of neurons from the striatum show intranuclear inclusions

renal/urinary system
• urinary incontinence is frequently seen at 24 weeks of age
