embryo
|
• embryos showed delayed projections of primary sensory afferents in the dorsal horn, selectively affecting cutaneous afferents
• normal differentiation and development of sensory neurons of the dorsal root ganglia

nervous system
|
• loss of neurons in the dorsal horn, especially the lateral-most region
