Male rat motoneurons innervating the pubococcygeus muscle were located in the ventral nucleus of lamina IX at the sixth lumbar (L6) and first sacral (S1) spinal cord segments. Retrograde labeling with horseradish peroxidase-wheat germ agglutinin was transported up to second-order dendrites and revea

โฆ Synopsis
Horseradish peroxidase was injected into the biceps brachii muscle of rats at various stages of development, from 10 days to 50 weeks. The retrogradely labeled neurons were found in the ipsilateral ventro-lateral column of the cervical cord, C4--C8, of all stages studied, but the number of labeled neurons decreased according to exponential curve as the age advanced. A striking finding was that the contralateral ventral horn cells were also labeled in the 10- and 14-day-old rats.

Polyneural innervation was studied in the psoas muscle in developing rats from P4 till P25 and at adult age, with the combined silveracetylcholinesterase technique. Nerve endings were counted, and endplates were measured. These data were compared with such data in the human. The end of polyneural in
The succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activities and cell body sizes of motoneurons in the dorsomedial (DM) region of the ventral horn at the lower portion of the L5 and the L6 segmental levels of the rat spinal cord were determined following 14 days of spaceflight and after 9 days of recovery on Earth
