| Genetic information | The transgenic construct is a fusion between the mouse neurofilament high subunit (Nefh or Nfh, neurofilament heavy polypeptide) coding sequence and the lacZ reporter gene. This transgene is expressed only in neurons and induce the aggregation of all neurofilaments in the neuronal cell body (Eyer & Peterson, 1994, Neuron, 12:389-405). |
| Phenotypic information | Aggregation of neurofilaments in the cell body; absence of neurofilaments in axons; electrophysiological abnormalities. |
| Breeding history | The transgenic mice were backcrossed to FVB for more than 20 generations. |
