A pseudocolored three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction of the outer hair cells from a TectaC1509G/+ mouse cochlea labeled with the calcium indicator dye OGB-1AM. In wild-type mice, the tectorial membrane covers all three outer hair cell rows, whereas the tectorial membrane in TectaC1509G/+ mice only reaches the first row of cells. In TectaC1509G/+ mice, the malformed tectorial membrane produced increased calcium within the first row of outer hair cells compared with cells in the second and third rows.
