## Abstract Several recent studies have highlighted the role of axonal transport in the pathogenesis of motor neuron diseases. Mutations in genes that control microtubule regulation and dynamics have been shown to cause motor neuron degeneration in mice and in a form of human motor neuron disease.

The earliest horseradish peroxidase (HRP) neuronal labeling (the fastest retrograde transport) was determined by histochemical techniques at various intervals after intramuscular HRP injection in wobbler mice and normal littermates. In the clinically impaired forelimb system, the retrograde transpor
## Abstract The collision technique was used to determine the origin of distal fasciculations in 25 motor units from 9 patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and 6 with other diseases involving motoneurons. Fasciculations originated in the nerve proximal to the knee or elbow in 15 and distally
## Abstract Huntington disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant disorder in which degeneration of mediumβsized spiny striatal neurons occurs. The HD gene and the protein it encodes, huntingtin, have been identified but their functions remain unknown. Transgenic mouse models for HD have been developed
