Contractile measures on 67 single muscle units in the cat lateral rectus muscle were made in response to motoneuron stimulation. Simultaneous activation of four to five additional units, using muscle nerve stimulation, allowed an examination of unit force summation. Linear force addition was found i
## Abstract Distraction osteogenesis is a highly successful method of bone formation, yet muscle fibrosis and contractures can result in significant morbidity. In the current study, we investigate the efficacy of botulinum toxin A in preventing fibrosis and potentially increasing muscle development
Previously developed morphometric analysis of motoneurons (Ulfhake and Kellerth, '81, J. was applied to lateral rectus motoneurons (LRMs). Total dendrite size was approximated from a single stem dendrite measurement. Fifteen dendrites from nine LRMs of the principal abducens nucleus intracellularly
