Figure 3. Quantification of utricular stereociliary bundle orientations following Vangl1 and Vangl2 gene deletion.
The orientation of individual stereociliary bundles graphed on circular histograms for all hair cells analyzed in the LER, Striola and MER regions of the P2 utricular maculae from mice of each indicated genotype. For these histograms, 90° is oriented toward the lateral border of the sensory epithelia (Fig. 2A, dashed white line) and 270° is oriented away from the lateral border. The total number of hair cells represented by each histogram (n) is shown, and bin width is 5°.
