N normal phenotype
hearing/vestibular/ear
• Hensen's stripe is absent
• limbal zone of tectorial membrane is extremely reduced, however hair bundle structure is normal
• enlargement of the subtectorial space in the vicinity of inner hair cell bundles
• Kimura's membrane is separated from the main body of the tectorial membrane
• large holes are visible within the main body of the matrix
• striated-sheet matrix is not present in the sulcal zone and collagen fibrils are oriented almost perpendicular to its surface rather than projecting radially across the tectorial membrane
• neural response thresholds are elevated, neural tuning is broadened, and a sharp decrease in sensitivity is observed at the tip of the neural tuning curve, however the sensitivity and frequency tuning of the mechanical responses of the cochlea are little changed
