+/+ mice (G2), Coq9
R239X mice (H2), and Coq9
R239X mice after β‐RA treatment (I2). Scale bars: 1 mm (A1–C1); 100 μm (D1–F1); 200 μm (G1–I1); 100 μm (J1–L1); 200 μm (M1–O1); 100 μm (P1–R1); 100 μm (S1–U1). The yellow arrows indicated the areas of increased T2 signal, which is characteristic of lesions in specific brain areas.
