โฆ Synopsis
Counts of differentiating motor cells over the length of the brachial lateral motor column (LMC) indicate that a large decrease in cell number takes place during the larval period. During the same period an increase in nuclear size of the motor cells occurs with a maximum size attained just following forelimb emergence. Comparison between development of the LMC at the brachial and lumbo-sacral levels indicates a slight lag in brachial LMC development. Cell number remains greater in the brachial LMC than in the lumbo-sacral LMC, but nuclear size is consistently less in the brachial column. Probably no significant change in cell number occurs after metamorphosis, though there is an increase in cell size.
