Abstract excerpt
The hearing ability and histological characteristics of the cochlea of a strain of new-mutant mice were analyzed. This new mutant arose as a spontaneous mutation in the C3H/He stock. The genetic mode is autosomal recessive and the animals show abnormal behavior such as circling, head-tossing and hyperactivity. The audiological findings exhibited no recordable auditory brain stem response (ABR) in any homozygotes...
