behavior/neurological

limb grasping ( J:220605 )

• 49% of mice exhibit clasping when lifted by the tail; clasping is already seen at 1-3 months of age

tremors ( J:220605 )

• 97% of mice exhibit tremor; tremor is already seen at 1-3 months of age

nervous system

abnormal pons morphology ( J:220605 )

• disorganized processes and inclusions in the pons

abnormal cerebral cortex morphology ( J:220605 )

• disorganized processes and inclusions in the cerebral cortex

abnormal cerebellum morphology ( J:220605 )

• disorganized processes and inclusions in the cerebellum

abnormal dorsal root ganglion morphology ( J:220605 )

• neurofilamentous aggregates in the dorsal root ganglia at 18 months of age; aggregates are composed of mutant protein

abnormal sciatic nerve morphology ( J:220605 )

• sciatic nerves show a reduction in the number of neurofilaments, an increase in the number of microtubules and a decrease in the axonal diameters

abnormal spinal cord grey matter morphology ( J:220605 )

• neurofilamentous aggregates are seen in the neuronal cell bodies in the gray matter at 18 months of age; aggregates are composed of mutant protein

nervous system inclusion bodies ( J:220605 )

• multiple neurofilamentous inclusions in the cell bodies and proximal axons of spinal cord neurons

• inclusions in the cerebellum, the cerebral cortex, and pons
