Our previous studies have shown that partial denervation of extensor digitorum longus muscle (EDL) in the rat at 3 days of age causes an increase in the activity of the intact motoneurons.

These modifications of motoneuron activity were associated with the change in the phenotype of the muscle from fast to slow contracting...
