| mice with a disruption in the Foxp2 display severe motor impairment, premature death, and an absence of ultrasonic vocalizations  | |
Foxp2 (R552H) knockin mice showed reduced weight, immature development of the cerebellum with incompletely folded folia, Purkinje cells with poor dendritic arbors and less synaptophysin immunoreactivity, and achieved crisis stage for survival 3 weeks after birth  |
