• mice exhibit normal lumbar motor column neuron specification, lateral migration, and segregation
|
• some motor neurons fail to migrate away from the ventricular zone unlike in control mice
|
• in the spinal cord medial motor column
|
• mice exhibit a 2.5-fold increase in En1+ V1 interneurons and 3-fold increase in Chx10+ V2a interneurons compared to in control mice
|
• mice exhibit a 3-fold increase in Chx10+ V2a interneurons compared to in control mice
|
• at E11.5, mice exhibit intermixing of medial and lateral lumbar motor column neurons unlike in control mice
• at E13.5, preganglionic column neurons are scattered in ectopic ventral position unlike in control mice
• mice exhibit disorganization of intrasegmental neuron pools compared with control mice
• however, organization of rostro-caudal neurons are normal
|
• Foxp1+ neurons are less densely packed than in control mice
• however, overall neuron packing is normal
|
• reduced number of neurons
