nervous system

• olfactory bulbs are nearly absent at E18.5

mortality/aging
• fewer than the expected number of male offspring are recovered from litters from crosses between cre-expressing males and Arxtm1Gldn females
• a siginificant number of mutant males die early in the postnatal period

behavior/neurological
• some mice display seizures characterized by whole body flexion or extension movements resembling epileptic spasms
• some mice display arrest of acitivity/freezing seizures
• all adult mice develop spontaneous brief seizures
• all P14-17 mice demonstrate spontaneous seizures consisting of body arching with forelimb clonus and rearing

nervous system
N
• no brain weight or gross morphological differences are detected in adult or P14-17 animals compared to controls
• some mice display seizures characterized by whole body flexion or extension movements resembling epileptic spasms
• some mice display arrest of acitivity/freezing seizures
• all adult mice develop spontaneous brief seizures
• all P14-17 mice demonstrate spontaneous seizures consisting of body arching with forelimb clonus and rearing
• a prominent reduction in calbindin-labeled neurons in the neocortex compared to controls in the hippocampus, pattern of staining of interneurons is altered from cell body staining to mainly staining interneuron processes
• smaller reductions are observed in numbers and distribution of calretinin-labeled neurons compared to controls
• in P90-120 day-old mice, EEG is disrupted compared to controls; mice display pattern of moderate to higher amplitude and faster frequency activity
• abnormal activity is more apparent in the hippocampal rather than cortical electrodes
• adult animals show a lack of normal 4-7 Hz rhythmic theta activity while awake; hippocampal theta activity is rarely recorded, but when present has faster activity superimposed on the normal theta
• while sleeping, a lack of normal delta power and rhythmic delta activity seen in controls
• mice have a decrease in delta activity and an increase in faster frequency activity
• P14-17 animals display EEGs with slower background with lower voltage than mature controls; one animal showed infrequent large amplitude spikes

behavior/neurological
• some adult mice develop convulsive Racine stage 5 seizures
• some adult mice display epileptic spasm seizures
• some adult mice display arrest of acitivity/freezing seizures
• about half of adult female mice develop spontaneous brief seizures of various types
• P14-17 mice develop seizures at a similar rate to adult females; no epileptic spasm seizures are recorded in mice at this ages

• a significant reduction is observed in numbers and distribution of calretinin-labeled neurons compared to controls
• EEGs of female mice exhibit abnormal background activity; EEG is periodically interrupted by longer runs of higher amplitude, faster rhythms, and demonstrates excessive sharp activity
• females show no decrease in Delta band activity, but do exhibit an increase in faster frequency activity like male mutants
