## Abstract The morphogenic and trophic effects of acetylcholine (ACh) on embryonic cultured rat spinal cord motoneurons (MNs) through nicotinic α7 autoreceptors were assessed. α7 Subunits of the nicotinic cholinergic receptor were detected in cultures of purified rat spinal embryonic MNs sampled a
