Table 1.

Summary of the determined perikarya- and nuclei volumes and their diameters. Presented data were calculated from manually segmented data. The first part presents the evaluated perikarya volumes of both analyzed cochleae (n = 138), specimen 1 (n = 83) and specimen 2 (n = 55) according to their location within the inner ear. Volumetric data of corresponding nuclei is shown in the lower part of the table in the same manner by the median (M [μm3]), the lower quartile (QL [μm3]), upper quartile (QU [μm3]) as well as the lower adjacent value (LAV [μm3]) and the upper adjacent value (UAV [μm3]); d is shown as μm
