The Purkinje cell degeneration (pcd) mouse: an unexpected molecular link between neuronal degeneration and regeneration.

Abstract excerpt

The spontaneous autosomal recessive mouse mutation, Purkinje cell degeneration (pcd), was first identified through its ataxic behavior. Since its discovery in the 1970s, the strain has undergone extensive investigation, although another quarter century elapsed until the mutant gene (agtpbp1 a.k.a. Nna1) underlying the pcd phenotype was identified. As Nna1 was initially discovered as a gene induced in motor...
