Fig. 4From: Cochlear morphology in the developing inner ear of the porcine model of spontaneous deafnessHistopathological changes of cochlear ducts (scala media) in the MITF-M mutation pigs. A1–5 Illustrate the normal development of the scala media (SM) in wild-type pigs from E75 to P13. B1–5 illustrate the progressive collapsion of the cochlear ducts from E75 to P13. Reissner’s membrane completely descended onto the organ of Corti in the E100 MT cochlea (B3). All images were taken from the basal turn of cochleae (Wild type, WT; mutant type, MT; scala media, SM.
