Abstract excerpt
ER81, a member of the ETS family of transcription factors, is essential for the formation of connections between sensory and motor neurons in the spinal cord. Mice lacking Er81 genes exhibit reduced monosynaptic sensory-motoneuron connectivity in response to muscle nerve stimulation. Proximal muscle nerve stimulation elicits fewer monosynaptic potentials than stimulation of distal nerves in hindlimbs, a deficit...
