Failed cell migration and death of purkinje cells and deep nuclear neurons in the weaver cerebellum.

Abstract excerpt

The mouse neurological mutant weaver has an atrophic cerebellar cortex with deficits in both Purkinje and granule cell number. Although granule cells are known to die postnatally shortly after their final cell division, the cause of the Purkinje cell deficit (cell death vs lack of production) is unknown. We report here a quantitative analysis of large cerebellar neurons of the weaver mutant during postnatal...
