Abstract excerpt
Mice heterozygously deficient in the major myelin component P0 are an established model of an inherited neuropathy and show signs of myelin degeneration in motor nerves. Unlike the case in patients, the sensory nerves are only mildly affected in the mouse mutants and do not show features indicative of myelin degeneration. Unexpectedly, by applying established behavioral tests, we found sensory deficits, as...
