nervous system

increased neuron apoptosis ( J:240157 )

• at E14.5

decreased brain size ( J:240157 )

• with reduced cortex volume

decreased corpus callosum size ( J:240157 )

• reduced volume

abnormal putamen morphology ( J:240157 )

• reduced volume

small thalamus ( J:240157 )

• reduced volume

small hippocampus ( J:240157 )

• reduced volume

thin cerebral cortex ( J:240157 )

• at P0 and severely reduced in adulthood

• however, cortex thickness is normal at E12.5, E14.5 and E16.

small olfactory bulb ( J:240157 )

• reduced volume

abnormal cerebellar layer morphology ( J:240157 )

• loss of upper neuronal layer

• however, cortical architecture is preserved
