mortality/aging
• mice die from neurological disease with a mean lifespan of 284 days
• the length of illness (mean day of onset until death) is 130 days

behavior/neurological
• mice suffering form neurological disease tightly clasp hindlimbs upon lifting by tail
• mice develop ataxia with extension of hindlimbs and unbalanced posture with an age of onset at 144 days
• mice develop ataxia with extension of hindlimbs and unbalanced posture with an age of onset at 144 days

nervous system
• protease resistant Prnp deposits are found in many parts of the brain in mice suffering from neurological disease
• Prnp deposits ranged from diffuse synaptic-type depositions prominent in the hippocampus to plaque-like depositions in the reticular thalamic nucleus, the corpus callosum, the external and internal capsule, the cingulated cortex, and the anterior commissure nuclei
• depositions do not contain amyloid fibrils
• hypertrophy and proliferation of astrocytes are prominent adjacent to Prnp depositions

skeleton
• kyphosis occurs with the onset of ataxia
