Abstract excerpt

Morphometric evaluations were performed on the peroneal nerve from mutant quails deficient in neurofilaments (NF) to elucidate the effect of an absence of NF on unmyelinated axons. The diameter frequency distribution of unmyelinated axons was similar between controls and mutants. The mean transve...
