Schematic Legend The outer ear canal (A) ends medially in the tympanic membrane (ear drum, B), connecting to the middle ear ossicles (C). The inner ear consists of the vestibular portion (D) and the cochlea (E). A cross-sectional view of the cochlear spiral is shown in higher magnification in the middle portion of the schematic, and the sensory region, the organ of Corti, is shown on the right. Inner hair cells (F) and outer hair cells (G) are transduced by the exo-AAV vector with high efficiency (brown), although some remain without transgene expression (magenta). Some supporting cells are also GFP positive (H, green).
