Fig. 8.
NaV1.7 staining in control and noise exposed cochleae. Micrographs of cochlea sections stained for NaV1.7 from control (A) and noise exposed (B) animals. Robust staining can be seen in the SGN cell bodies (* and inset) from the control animals (A). Frequency pictographs of the SGN cell body mean grey value (C) show an increase in frequency of the darker stained neurons (shaded region) following noise exposure (solid line) compared to the control SGN (dotted line). Scale bar = 50 μm, 15 μm in insets. Grey values, 0 = black, 255 = white, indicated by bar above pictographs.
