Alterations of tunnel of Corti and Nuel’s space. (A) Tunnel of Corti and Nuel’s space at postnatal day 10 (P10) in wild-type mice (magnification, ×750; apical turn). (B) The tunnel of Corti was not formed at P8 and Nuel’s space was partly formed in cCx26ko mice (magnification, ×1,150; apical turn). (C) The tunnel and Nuel’s space were not formed at P10 in cCx26ko mice (magnification, ×1,150; middle turn). (D) The tunnel of Corti and Nuel’s space at P18 in cCx26ko mice were filled with neighboring enlarged supporting cells (magnification, ×1,150; middle turn). TC, Corti tunnel; NS, Nuel’s space; DC, Deiter’s cell; cCx26ko, conditional connexin 26 knockout.
