hearing/vestibular/ear
• above 60 dB, the amplitudes of waves II and III are increased compared to in control mice
• between 50 and 75 dB, wave I amplitude if slightly decreased compared to in control mice
• however, mice exhibit normal ABR thresholds for pure tone stimuli and in response to click or noise burst stimuli
|
• slightly reduced at 50 dB SPL f2
|
• slightly increased threshold in the middle hearing range
|
nervous system
• the lateral superior olive is round not U shape as in control mice and reduced in volume due to reduced neuron number
• the medial nucleus of the trapezoid body is reduced in volume due to reduced neuron number compared to in control mice
|
• in the lateral superior olive and medial nucleus of the trapezoid body
