Abstract excerpt
Three spontaneous mutations with cerebellar atrophy were evaluated for motor coordination and regional brain metabolism, as assessed by cytochrome oxidase (CO) activity. Despite similar neuropathological characteristics, the behavioral phenotype of Lurcher is less severe than that of staggerer, possibly caused by the slower onset of their neuronal degeneration. Although fewer cerebellar cells degenerate in...
