nervous system

abnormal neuron proliferation ( J:172044 )

• accelerated proliferation and decreased cell cycle exit in neural progenitor cells in the midbrain

abnormal brain morphology ( J:172044 )

abnormal midbrain development ( J:172044 )

• around E11.5 multiple nodules are detected protruding from the apical surface of the mesencephalon and this phenotype becomes more severe by E12.5

• the cellular organization in the ventricular zone of the mesencephalon becomes highly irregular by E12.5

• after E12.5 dysplasia is seen in all embryos and by E13.5 dysplasia expands throughout the mesencephalon

• expansion of neural progenitor cells in the developing mesencephalon

abnormal midbrain morphology ( J:172044 )

• protrusions consisting of neuronal mass originating from the midbrain are exposed dorsally and push into the forebrain ventrally

• expression analysis indicates disruption of adherens junctions at the ventricular surface at E12.5

increased midbrain size ( J:172044 )

• enlarged at E13.5

exencephaly ( J:172044 )

• display exencephaly-like protrusions at E15.5

increased neuronal precursor cell number ( J:172044 )

• expansion of neural progenitor cells in the developing mesencephalon

cellular

abnormal neuron proliferation ( J:172044 )

• accelerated proliferation and decreased cell cycle exit in neural progenitor cells in the midbrain
