Motor unit (MU) number and size estimates were obtained from the human flexor digiti minimi muscle using histological methods. Ten adult fresh cadavers (33-74 years old) were used. The number of MUs was 130 ± 15 and the MU size was 108 ± 10. These values are similar to those reported for other hypot
Loss of neurons has been considered to be a prime cause of nervous disturbances that occur with advancing age. However, the notion of a constitutive aging-related loss of neurons has been challenged recently in several studies that used up-to-date methods for counting neurons. In this study, we have
