hearing/vestibular/ear
• inner hair cells are slightly disorganized in the E18 cochlea
• with time, most inner hair cells protrude into the scala media, lose their stereocilia and change appearance from elongated to round
• degeneration of inner hair cells begins in the basal turn at around E17 and continues until about the time of birth
• degeneration of inner hair cells in the apical turn begins around the time of birth and continues until about P3
• cells that survive occur singly, in pairs or in short runs

The abnormal inner hair cell phenotype of Srrm4bv/Srrm4bv mice is rescued by hair-cell targeted expression of the Tg(Myo7a-Srrm4)#Bban transgene

hearing/vestibular/ear
• degeneration of maculae (J:13866)
• as secondary to IHC degeneration, the regular arrangment of pillar cells and outer hair cells are broken
• majority of inner hair cells formed are grossly abnormal (J:6106)
• very small, and rounded or occur in abnormal position (J:6106)
• abnormalities are visible in the newborn (J:6106)
• inner hair cells are either absent or malformed (J:13866)
• maybe absent or malformed at birth
• those that are formed and normal had a tendency to disapper with age
• degenerate in the basal/middle coils between 17 and 18 gestational days
• maybe absent or malformed
• degeneration of cristae
• EM analysis shows considerable lack of hair bundles by 3 days of age
• early degeneration of many sensory cells
• many hair bundles and surviving sensory cells show abnormalities and delayed maturation
• immature features are seen in the vestibular ganglion
• the wave IV threshold of the click-evoked ABR was higher than the DPOAE threshold with the DP growth method
• emissions with small amplitude and an increase of 30 decibels in threshold
• the wave IV threshold of the click-evoked ABR was higher than the DPOAE threshold with the DP growth method
• no response to sound at all or respond very slightly during a short period at about 13 days after birth (J:6106)
• mice are near deaf (J:13866)

• inner hair cells are either absent or malformed (J:13866)
• maybe absent or malformed at birth
• those that are formed and normal had a tendency to disapper with age
• degenerate in the basal/middle coils between 17 and 18 gestational days
• normal at birth, but degenerate rapidly afterword that the ganglion is thinner by 6 days
• after about 4 months very few cells remain

behavior/neurological
• on a horizontal rod

mortality/aging
• mice die neonatally due to an inability to start breathing

respiratory system
• none of the newborn mice start to breathe and alveoli of newborns are not expanded with air

nervous system
• cortical neurons form functional synapses in vitro, but their spontaneous activity is abnormal, with calcium oscillations being of an abnormally high amplitude and low frequency and they are highly synchronized
• however, no anatomical defects are seen in the brain at E19
• cortical neurons are defective for the developmental switch in GABAergic neurotransmission
• cortical neuron cultures treated with the GABA(A)R inhibitor gabazine show a reduction in the amplitude and an increase in the frequency of calcium oscillations, the opposite of wild-type cultures which show increased amplitude and decreased frequency of calcium oscillations
• cortical neuron cultures and brain slice cultures treated with the GABA(A)R agonist muscimol show increased intracellular calcium compared to wild-type cultures in which few neurons respond to muscimol
• more neurons from spinal cord slices respond to a mix of GABA and glycine with elevated intracellular calcium than in wild-type slices
