Abstract excerpt

The Wobbler mouse (wr) has been proposed as a model for human inherited motoneuron disease (infantile spinal muscular atrophy). The primary defect is thought to be in the motoneurons. Therefore we undertook a survey of the qualitative and quantitative changes occurring in the cervical spinal moto...
