▪ Abstract We describe the formation, maturation, elimination, maintenance, and
regeneration of vertebrate neuromuscular junctions (NMJs), the best studied of all synapses …

Gray matter loss in the cortex is extensive in schizophrenia, especially in the prefrontal-
temporal-network (PTN). Several molecules such as neuregulin-1 (NRG1) and its ErbB4 …

Social dilemmas occur when the pursuit of self-interest by individuals in a group leads to
less than optimal collective outcomes for everyone in the group. A critical assumption in the …

of motoneurons 2.5. Postnatal elimination of synaptic terminals 3. Methodological …

Studies have shown that in the mammalian neuromuscular system stretch reflexes are
localized within individual muscles. Neuromuscular compartmentalization, the partitioning of …

The spatial distribution of muscle fibers belonging to a motor unit was studied in the soleus
(SOL) and tibialis anterior (TA) of adult cats to provide a detailed description of the spatial …

Neuromuscular connections have long served as models of synaptic structure and function.
They also provide illuminating insights into the dynamic cell-cell interactions governing …

Motor axons form topographic maps on muscles: rostral motor pools innervate rostral
muscles, and rostral portions of motor pools innervate rostral fibers within their targets. Here …

The establishment and refinement of neural circuits involve both the formation of new
connections and the elimination of already existing connections. Elimination of connections …

There are several studies dealing with experimental and structural analyses of skeletal
muscles that are aimed at gaining a better understanding of three-dimensional muscle …
