phenotype observed in females
phenotype observed in males
N normal phenotype
mortality/aging
• some mice die during the fourth postnatal week

nervous system
• hypoplastic thalamocortical projections
• few, if any, corticofugal and thalamocortical axons cross the pallial-subpallial boundary
• however, thalamocortical projections extension through the diencephalic-telencephalic boundary is normal
• at P7, pallium and subpallium are almost completely disconnected
• the main trunk is devoid of corticofugal axons

mortality/aging
• some mice die during the fourth postnatal week

nervous system
• thalamic projections are misrouted into the ventral midbrain and tangled within the hypothalamus and near complete absence of corticofugal and thalamocortical axons that cross the pallial-subpallial boundary unlike in wild-type mice
• at P7, pallium and subpallium are nearly completely disconnected
• disorganized with partially formed rostral part of the tract
