Maternal infanticide and low maternal ability in cerebellar mutants Lurcher.

OBJECTIVE: One of the common, but less studied deficiencies in mouse models of cerebellar disorders is impaired breeding capacity. Nevertheless, there is no extensive study in Lurcher (Grid2Lc) mice, a model of olivocerebellar degeneration. The aim of this work was to analyze a breeding capacity of these mutants.

METHODS:.....
