Fig 3

Morphological analysis of the inner ears using the whole mount clearing method showed abnormal superior semi-circular canal formation in the homozygous mutants of line Pou3f3L423P. Left picture shows a control inner ear with normal semi-circular canals. Right picture shows the smaller inner ear of a Pou3f3L423P homozygous mutant animal with abnormal superior semi-circular canal formation. Red arrow shows the constriction of the superior semi-circular canal. SSCC: superior semi-circular canal, PSCC: posterior semi-circular canal, ASCC: anterior semi-circular canal.
