nervous system
• reduced in size at E18.5
|
• in posterior hemisphere crusil and paramedian folia are fused; in one embryo, a partial fissure separating crusil and paramedian folia is observed
|
• foliation defects are milder than in En1tm2Alj /+, En2tm2Alj homozygotes; most mutants have foliation pattern similar to hemispheres of En2tm2Alj homozygotes
|
• subregion VIII (posterior vermis) is not present at E18.5
|
• at E18.5, reduced in overall size by one-third relative to controls
