Schematic diagrams showing early cochlear development comparing common marmoset, mouse, and human. This study confirmed that most of the early cochlear developmental steps of the common marmoset were conserved in humans or mice. Gene expression patterns in hair cells development and neural development were well-conserved between the species. However, several inter-species differences were also observed. Expression patterns of the genes associated with the sensory epithelium specifications (CDKN1B and JAG1) showed more significant inter-species differences between the common marmoset and mouse. In marmosets, the progression of differentiation of hair cells from basal to apical turn is about three times slower than in mice
