behavior/neurological
• mice are slower on the 12 mm beam at 12 months of age compared to wild-type and compared to Gjb1tm1Kwi hemizygotes
• mice take longer to traverse the 6 mm balance beam and show more slips at 6 months of age compared to wild-type and Gjb1tm1Kwi hemizygous mice
• mice show increased number of slips on the 6 mm beam at 12 months of age but no differences in time to transverse the 6 mm beam
• mice show a greater number of slips on the 12 mm balance beam at 6 months of age compared to Gjb1tm1Kwi hemizygotes
• hind limb and 4-limb grip strength is reduced at 6 months and 1 year of age
• however, no difference in front limb grip strength is seen

nervous system
• mice exhibit progressive motor neuropathy
• mice show degenerating myelinated axons and demyelinated axons; demyelinated axons are being remyelinated and axonal regeneration is replacing the degenerated axons
• the latency of the sciatic F-wave is prolonged in 6-month-old mice
• however, the amplitude and distal latency of the sciatic motor compound muscle action potentials (CMAPs), as well as the amplitude of the caudal nerve response are not different
• 6-month-old and 12-month-old mice exhibit slower sciatic and caudal nerve motor conduction velocity
