nervous system

abnormal trigeminal nerve morphology ( J:67059 )

Behavioral differences between +/+ wild-type and Pou4f1^tm1Nat/Pou4f1^tm1Nat mice at birth

mortality/aging

neonatal lethality, complete penetrance ( J:35877 )

• homozygotes die within the first 24 hours after birth

behavior/neurological

absent gastric milk in neonates ( J:35877 )

absent suckling reflex ( J:35877 )

impaired righting response ( J:35877 )

• as a result of a lack of coordinated limb and trunck movements

nervous system

abnormal medulla oblongata morphology ( J:35877 )

• reduced cell number in the caudal region of the olivary nucleus

abnormal red nucleus morphology ( J:35877 )

• large neurons of the red nucleus are missing

abnormal epithalamus morphology ( J:35877 )

• 2 fold reduction in cell numbers in the medial habenula

abnormal cranial ganglia morphology ( J:35877 )

cochlear ganglion hypoplasia ( J:70744 )

• 30% reduction of neurons in the spiral ganglion

• neurons are scattered and some are not well separated from the vestibular ganglion

• losses of sensory neurons in the cochlea as well as of afferent innervation

• misdirected fibers throughout the cochlea

small geniculate ganglion ( J:70744 )

• 30-50% reduction of neurons at E18.5

small trigeminal ganglion ( J:35877 , J:54859 )

• volume of trigeminal ganglion about 1/2 normal just before birth (J:35877)

• increased density of smaller cells (J:35877)

• increased incidence of apoptotic cell death at E15.5 (J:54859)

• neuronal number begins to drop between E11.5 and E15.5 (J:54859)

• at birth neuron number about 30% normal (J:54859)

abnormal vestibular ganglion morphology ( J:70744 )

• volume is decreased and the size of neurons is decreased

nervous system

abnormal retina ganglion cell morphology ( J:147350 )

• the ratio of bistratified:monostratified retinal ganglion cells (RGC) increases from 0.22 in controls to 1.5 in these mice

• there is an absence of RGC dendrites in a narrow stripe of the inner plexiform layer (IPL) that coincides with the boundary between the ON and OFF RGC subtypes

• this gap in RGC dendrites is evident at P4 before the IPL has completely differentiated
