mortality/aging

nervous system
• radial migration of late-born neurons is delayed
• however, lamination of the cerebral cortex and radial glial cell formations are normal
• at P20, the thickness of the corpus callosum is decreased due to defasciulation of cortical afferents
• at P20, the thickness of the anterior commissure is decreased due to defasciulation of cortical afferents
• unlike in wild-type mice, Purkinje cells that normally align beneath the inner granule layer are malpositioned
• at P20, the Purkinje cell layer is disorganized
• however, arborization of dendrites is normal
• Purkinje cell size is reduced by 25% compared to wild-type
• unlike in wild-type mice, the inner granule layer is loosely packed and Purkinje cells that normally align beneath it are malpositioned

behavior/neurological
• at P14, mice exhibit impaired righting reflex when placed on their backs indicating decreased motor balance and coordination
• between P13 and P15, mice exhibit whole-body tremors
• between P13 and P15
• in a hanging wire test, mice are 5 times less able to hold onto a hanging wire
• between P13 and P15, mice exhibit an awkward gait

growth/size/body
• mice are noticeably smaller 7 days after birth and weight 40% of wild-type by day 20
• although mice are born normal they stop growing a few days after birth

cellular
• radial migration of late-born neurons is delayed
• however, lamination of the cerebral cortex and radial glial cell formations are normal
