hearing/vestibular/ear
• outer hair cell bundles for loose U-shaped bundles rather than the precise V shape found in wild-type mice
• inner hair cell bundles are smaller and more widely separated than in wild-type mice
|
• at 4 weeks
|
• mice exhibit degeneration of outer hair cells in the middle and basal turns unlike in wild-type mice
• however, most inner hair cells remain intact
|
• at 4 weeks
|
• the threshold of compound action potentials is raised by about 60 dB compared to in wild-type mice
|
behavior/neurological
• mice exhibit a progressive lose of Preyer reflex between 4 and 6 weeks
