The semicircular canals are sensory organs in the inner ear that help with balance and coordination. Malformations in these canals can lead to difficulty in maintaining balance and coordination, making it difficult to walk or even stand without falling over. Therefore, the aberrant behavior seen in these mice would be falling over.
