behavior/neurological
|
• some mutants are unable to move their ears

|
|
• some mutants are unable to move their whiskers
|
|
• 35% of mutants show total facial paralysis and another 10% show partial facial paralysis
|
nervous system
|
• increased motor neuron loss is seen from E14.5 to E16.5 when motor neuron pruning normally occurs resulting a significant decrease in the average number of motor neurons in mutants compared to wild-type mice
|
|
• loss of VII th cranial nerve branches is seen
• at E12.5 the average number of axonal branch points is decreased

behavior/neurological
|
• 17% of mice have a noticeably narrower range of whisker movements on one side
• 8% have a mutant-like eyelid closure reflex in one eye

nervous system
|
• haploinsufficient presumptive facial nuclei are smaller, rounder, and located more internally than wild-type
|
|
• zygomatic and temporal branches of facial nerve in affected mutants are thinner and sometimes atypically formed, but rarely missing
