The number of cochlear MCs of Wistar rats decreases during postnatal development (p1–p9). (A) An exemplary micrograph of MCs visualized in the flat preparation of cochlear explants with avidin-AlexaFluor® 488 and phalloidin-Texas redTM (to stain filamentous actin). Scale bar 400 µm. (B) Quantification of MC numbers in the flat cochlear preparations of naïve p1–p9 Wistar rats. Presented are the average values, whiskers +/− SD. Significance: * p < 0.01 (one-way ANOVA). Sample size (cochleae): p1 n = 32, p3 n = 32, p5 n = 32, p7 n = 32, p9 n = 32.
