Celf4Ff/Brunol4+ mice exhibit seizures

behavior/neurological
• mice are slightly hyperactive
• at 3 months of age, mice exhibit seizures
• seizures range in severity from milder muscle twitching in the face and neck, forelimb clonus, and salivation to rearing and falling, myoclonic jerks, and arching of the back and tail
• seizures are often followed by running-bouncing phase with occasional tonic-clonic hinbdlimb extension
• incidence of seizures decrease with age
• at 7 weeks, mice have a reduce threshold to electroconvulsive seizure

growth/size/body
• by week 35 mice are 10% heavier than wild-type mice
• mice exhibit a late-onset weight gain resulting in 10% heavier weight compared to wild-type mice
• mice are slightly smaller at weaning

nervous system
• at 3 months of age, mice exhibit seizures
• seizures range in severity from milder muscle twitching in the face and neck, forelimb clonus, and salivation to rearing and falling, myoclonic jerks, and arching of the back and tail
• seizures are often followed by running-bouncing phase with occasional tonic-clonic hinbdlimb extension
• incidence of seizures decrease with age
• at 7 weeks, mice have a reduce threshold to electroconvulsive seizure
