Figure 8. Photomicrographs of the left otic capsule from stage 46 and 48 Xenopus larvae. A, B, Lateral view of the anterior (Ant) and posterior (Post) vertical canals in left otic capsule. Black arrows indicate location where canal lumen radii were measured. C, Plot of vertical canal lumen radius (anterior and posterior canals combined) and horizontal lumen radius (mean ± SD) at different developmental stages before and after aVOR onset. Canal lumen radii before and after horizontal aVOR onset (stage 47 and 48) and before and after vertical aVOR onset (stage 46 and 47) were significantly different (**p ≤ 0.01; Mann–Whitney U test); numbers of specimens used for the analysis at each stage are indicated in C. Other abbreviations are the same as in Figure 1. Image published in: Lambert FM et al. (2008) Copyright © 2008. This image is reproduced with permission of the publisher and the copyright holder.
