N normal phenotype
behavior/neurological
• mice are more active during the wake cycle than controls at 7 months of age but this difference is no longer significant at 12 months of age

homeostasis/metabolism
• mice exhibit an age dependent decrease in striatal dopamine content in the brain, with a 55.5% reduction by 7-9 months of age compared to controls

nervous system
• 40% loss of substantia nigra pars compacta dopamine neurons by 7-9 months of age
• 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
• 40% loss of substantia nigra pars compacta dopamine neurons by 7-9 months of age
