• exaggerated ataxia in some mice after a swim test

• 55/99 mice unable to swim - related to absence of normal otoliths (J:5215)
• seen in about 25% of homozygotes
• momentary, in mice displaying head tilt when first placed in water for a swim test

hearing/vestibular/ear
• variable presence of otoliths - from normal to complete absence (J:5215)
• otolith development improves by maternal feeding with increased levels of manganese during early gestation (J:5215)
• variable defects in latencies, amplitudes and thresholds of VESPs, dependent on amounts of otoconia present
