nervous system

abnormal cerebellum white matter morphology ( J:62287 )

♂ • white matter subjacent to the internal granule layer and the molecular layers is disorganized

gliosis ( J:62287 )

♂ • diffuse

neurodegeneration ( J:62287 )

♂ • observed in white matter by electron microscopy

axon degeneration ( J:62287 )

♂ • redundant myelin sheaths

♂ • myelin vacuolization

axonal spheroids ( J:62287 )

♂ • filled with mitochondria and other organelles

abnormal myelination ( J:62287 )

♂ • initial myelinogenesis is normal

♂ • myelin structure has a shorter periodicity than for controls

demyelination ( J:62287 )

♂ • widespread demyelination as mice age

behavior/neurological

impaired coordination ( J:62287 )

♂ • rotarod performance deteriorates as demyelination progresses

♂ • mice perform well on a rotarod until about 1 year of age after which performance declines
