Abstract excerpt
The vestibular organs in homozygote (je/je) and heterozygote (je/+) 1- to 12-month-old jerker mouse mutants were analyzed morphologically using light microscopy and transmission and scanning electron microscopy. The pathological changes were initially confined to the surface structure of predomin...
