The incidence of coated vesicles under sarcolemmal surfaces of equatorial, juxtaequatorial and polar regions in developing and adult spindles of the rat soleus muscle was examined by quantitative morphometry of transverse ultrathin sections. Coated…

Expression of myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms was studied in rat soleus (SOL) and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles which regenerated in the presence or absence of innervation. Frozen sections of two 5 day denervated SOL and EDL grafts, two…

Fusimotor neurons, group Ia afferents and muscle spindles are absent in mutant mice lacking the gene for neurotrophin-3 (NT3). To partition the effect of Ia afferent or spindle absence from that of NT3 deprivation on fusimotor neuron development, we…

The nuclear bag1 intrafusal fiber mediates the dynamic (velocity) sensitivity, whereas the nuclear bag2 and nuclear chain fibers mediate the static (length) sensitivity of muscle spindles to stretch. The pattern of branching of primary and secondary…

Expression of myosin heavy chain (MHC) isoforms was studied in rat soleus (SOL) and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles which regenerated in the presence or absence of innervation. Frozen sections of two 5 day denervated SOL and EDL grafts, two…

Features of the nerve supply and the encapsulated fibers of muscle spindles were assessed in grafted and normal extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles of rats by analysis of serial 10-microns frozen transverse sections stained for enzymes which…

The effects of a deletion for the brain derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) allele (+/- BDNF) upon age-related changes in nigrostriatal dopaminergic (NSDA) function were assessed. Behavioral (beam crossing and spontaneous activity) and neurochemical…

The influence of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) upon the nigrostriatal dopaminergic system was evaluated in weanling and adult mice carrying a targeted inactivated BDNF gene. Regional specificity of this BDNF mutation was assessed by…
