Deletion of the Bax Gene Severley Impairs Sexual Behavior and Modestly Impairs Motor Function In Mice

During neural development, nearly 50% of all newly generated neurons undergo cell death after making provisional contact with their target cells. The functional consequences of eliminating this neuronal cell death are not known. Bax, a pro-apoptotic protein, is required for cell death in many neura...
