nervous system

abnormal neuron differentiation ( J:157301 )

• at E14.5, the number of intermediate progenitor cells is decreased compared to in wild-type mice

abnormal neuron proliferation ( J:157301 )

• at E14.5, neuron proliferation in the cortex is reduced compared to in wild-type mice

• neurons exhibit cell-cycle exit defect compared with wild-type cells

• however, transplantation of wild-type meninges increases proliferation while treatment with retinoic acid increases cell-cycle exit

abnormal forebrain morphology ( J:157301 )

• at E12.5, dorsal forebrain lengthening is observed unlike in wild-type mice

• at E14.5, the dorsal forebrain is longer and thinner than in wild-type mice

• however, treatment with all-trans retinoic acid restores forebrain morphology

abnormal cerebral cortex morphology ( J:157301 )

• at E18.5

abnormal stratification in cerebral cortex ( J:157301 )

• at E18.5, cortical layers are disorganized compared to in wild-type mice

abnormal brain meninges morphology ( J:157301 )

• at E14.5, the dorsal meninges are absent unlike in wild-type mice
