Abstract excerpt
Muscle endplates become denervated in mice that express mutations of human superoxide dismutase 1 (hSOD1), models of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. This denervation is especially marked in fast limb muscles, and precedes death of motor neuron somata. This study used mice that expressed yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) in neurons to investigate changes in the morphology and function of axons and motor...
