The distribution of cerebellar gangliosides was studied in adult (73 +/- 2 days) nervous (nr/nr) mutant mice which lose 50-90% of their Purkinje cells. This neuronal loss is associated with significant reductions in cerebellar weight and ganglioside concentration. The cerebellar dry weights (mg) and

Neuron-target interactions during development are critical for determining the final numbers of neurons in the nervous system. To investigate the role of Purkinje cells and programmed cell death in the regulation of afferent neuron numbers, we have counted olivary neurons and granule cells in two li
Previous studies on cell cycle regulation in the ocular lens using transgenic mice have shown that inactivation of the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor protein (pRb) can cause postmitotic lens fiber cells to enter the cell cycle. However, when the p53 gene and protein are intact, inactivation of pRb
Purkinje cell degeneration (pcd) is an autosomal recessive mutation in the mouse characterized by an almost complete loss of cerebellar Purkinje neurons between postnatal days 22 and 28. The pcd gene has not been identified, however, a relationship between activation of specific genes and cell death
