Evaluation of inner ear histology and auditory brainstem response in Wriggle Mouse Sagami.

Abstract excerpt

Wriggle Mouse Sagami (WMS) is a spontaneous mutant strain with neuroepithelial defects. These animals are characterized by abnormal movements linked to an autosomal recessive gene. To determine the association between inner ear histology and hearing ability, we assayed these characteristics in mice homozygous and heterozygous for the mutation, as well as in wild-type animals. In homozygotes, the cochlea and...
