| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We made a hypothesis that Wnt pathway plays any roles in aging-related inner ear dysfunction. Little expression of wnt-related genes was detected in aged WT mice. Using C1q-deficient mice, hearing and balance functions were simultaneously evaluated using ABR and COR devices. Although our hypothesis was denied from the results, the availability of simultaneous evaluation of both ABR and VOR in mice was shown.
