Abstract excerpt
Previous studies of Purkinje cell dendrites in lurcher<-->wild-type mouse chimeras (lurcher chimeras) have documented the surprising occurrence of unusual atrophic dendritic morphologies among the wild-type cells of the mosaic cerebella. We have hypothesized that these aberrant morphologies arise...
