nervous system
• reduced numbers of motor neurons in the thoracic and lumbar cord of embryos
• motor neuron progenitors shifted to more ventral locations and increased 20% in thoracic region while being reduced about 15% in lumbar region
|
• V1, V2a, and V2b interneurons expand down into the ventral midline becoming intermingled with one another and with motor neurons in embryos
|
• V0 interneurons are normal but increased in numbers in embryos
|
• V1 interneurons are also increased in numbers but only in the thoracic region of embryos
|
• V2 interneurons are reduced in number in embryos
|
• V3 interneurons absent in thoracic and lumbar spinal cord of embryos
