To die or not to die, does it change the function? Behavior of transgenic mice reveals a role for developmental cell death.

Abstract:

:In humans, perturbations in the developmental neuronal death leading to an excess of neurons could be associated with developmental neuropsychiatric disorders. Hu-bcl-2 transgenic mice appear to be a valuable tool to study the functional role of developmental programmed cell death. Indeed, the over-expression of the anti-apoptotic gene bcl-2 decreases developmental neuronal death and Hu-bcl-2 mice present supernumerary neurons in several brain regions. A detailed behavioral analysis of these mice revealed selective deficits. Hu-bcl-2 mice have normal vision, general activity and motor skills. Only the most complex behavior like anxiety and learning abilities are impaired in these mice.
