mortality/aging
• mice show a 76% reduction in survival by 1 year of age
• mice show a 76% reduction in survival by 1 year of age

growth/size/body

behavior/neurological
• mice exhibit tremulousness
• mice show decreased locomotor activity
• mice exhibit a wide-based and ataxic gait

homeostasis/metabolism
• mice exhibit an age dependent decrease in striatal dopamine content in the brain, with a 64.5% reduction by 7-9 months of age compared to controls

nervous system
• while alpha-synuclein inclusions are not seen, accumulation of low-molecular weight alpha-synuclein is seen in the brain
• 60% loss of substantia nigra pars compacta dopamine neurons by 7-9 months of age
• a modest increase in reactive astrocytes in the of substantia nigra pars compacta
• neuronal inclusions are present in the substantia nigra pars compacta
• inclusions are often perinuclear but are also in the neuropil and are positive for ubiquitin
• neuronal inclusions are present in juveniles but are smaller in size than at older ages
• 60% loss of substantia nigra pars compacta dopamine neurons by 7-9 months of age
