Figure Lengend Snippet: Effects of H3R antagonist ciproxifan on cochlear hair cell (HC) morphology. a Schematic illustration of cochlear explant treatment with the H3R antagonists. b Representative image of the control group (0µM ciproxifan). c – e Cochlear explants were treated with ciproxifan at concentrations of 10µM, 50µM, and 100µM, respectively. Representative images shown are from the middle turn of the cochlea. HCs are labeled with phalloidin (red), and nuclei with DAPI (blue). Scale bars: 25 μm

Figure Lengend Snippet: H3R antagonists induce misdirected neurite outgrowth in type II SGNs in cochlear explants. a Representative immunofluorescence images showing typical SGN innervation: type I SGNs project radially to IHCs, while type II SGNs extend longitudinally from the apex toward the base to innervate OHCs. b Cochlear explant treated with 50µM ciproxifan showing misdirected type II SGN neurites. c Cochlear explant treated with 50µM pitolisant showing a similar reversal of type II SGN projections. a 4 , b 4 , c 4 High-magnification views of the boxed regions in a 3 , b 3 , c 3 .
