The mouse mutant motor neuron degeneration (mnd/mnd) has been proposed as a model of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL) on the basis of widespread abnormal accumulating lipopigment and neuronal and retinal degeneration. Clinically, the mutant on a C57Bl/6 genetic background shows a progressive motor abnormality starting by 6 months of age, with death prior to 12 months. When mnd is outcrossed to the AKR/J...
