Those data are also consistent with the formation of a crude cochleotopic projection in NT-3 null mutants [ 6 14 ] . Those mutants have a much more severely reduced density of innervation in the developing cochlea [ 6 14 ] than the reduction we found in Brn3c null mutants at P0.
So far internal non-coding exons have only been described in other neurotrophin genes, at first in the mouse NGF gene [ 30 31 ] and subsequently in the NT-3 gene [ 32 ] and more recently in the NT-4/5 gene [ 33 ] .
NT-3 is the most abundantly expressed of the three neurotrophins during embryonic muscle development, followed by NT-4/5 and BDNF [ 1 2 ] . After birth, NT-3 and NT-4/5 are down-regulated in muscle whereas BDNF continues to be expressed at low levels [ 1 ] . BDNF mRNA is expressed in myocytes in the adult muscle [ 3 ] . Essentially nothing is known about BDNF gene expression in fish muscle.
The comparatively high level of NT-3 expression in Brn3c null mutant cochlea, which has been shown to be the neurotrophin most prominently supporting spiral sensory neurons [ 6 9 14 ] , is in agreement with the normal development of cochlear innervation in newborn Brn3c null mutants.
The situation in the utricle, saccule and cochlea is less clear as both BDNF and NT-3 are expressed [ 6 7 ] . In fact, it appears that the levels of NT-3 expression hardly differ from those in control littermates (Figs.
