nervous system
• failure of synapse formation in vestibular sensory epithelia ; no fibers or synapses are seen in the canal epithelia and only small synaptic contacts or partial calyces are seen in the utricle or saccular epithelia, respectively
|
• vestibular ganglia are reduced in volume and cell number by about 25% at P7 and in adulthood, but not at birth
|
• reduction in the diameter and area of the posterior vertical crista nerve
• posterior vertical crista nerve shows a reduction in size of individual fibers at P26 and P70
|
• cell body sizes of vestibular neurons are modestly reduced; soma sizes at P7 and P70 are 21% and 27% smaller, respectively
• 25% reduction of NTRK2-dependent vestibular neurons at P7, the remaining 75% of vestibular neurons survive to adulthood
|
• 30% of small diameter axons are missing in the saphenous nerve
(J:49472)
• the aortic depressor nerve is reduced in size
(J:75365)
|
• loss of baroreceptor innervation of the aortic arch
|
• vestibular neurons lose target innervation in adults
(J:75365)
• at P8, but not at P0, mutants show a diminished density of fibers to all canal end organs and the utricle
(J:75365)
• reduction in the number of myelinated fibers extending to the posterior vertical crista at P0 and reaching 30-40% at P26-P70
(J:75365)
• defects in both afferent and efferent innervation of the vestibular sensory epithelium
(J:84871)
|
• 25% reduction of NTRK2-dependent vestibular neurons at P7 and in adulthood
|
• 59% reduction in nodose neurons, primarily due to loss of NTF5 (NT4)-dependent neurons and not BDNF-dependent neurons
|
• loss of D-hair receptors
