Preservation of motoneuron electrotonic characteristics during postembryonic growth.
The postembryonic developmental period of the nervous system involves, among other processes, an increase in the dimensions of individual neurons. In the present study we examine whether the characteristic electronic parameters that underlie the integrative properties of the neuron (L, the electrotonic length; rho, dendritic to somatic conductance ratio; and tau m, the membrane time constant) a...
متن کاملMorphometric analysis of dendritic remodeling in an identified motoneuron during postembryonic development.
A detailed quantitative description of modifications in neuronal architecture is an important prerequisite to investigate the signals underlying behaviorally relevant changes in neuronal shape. Extensive morphological remodeling of neurons occurs during the metamorphosis of holometabolous insects, such as Manduca sexta, in which new adult behaviors develop postembryonically. In this study, a mo...
متن کاملPhrenic motoneuron morphology during rapid diaphragm muscle growth.
In the adult rat, there is a general correspondence between the sizes of motoneurons, motor units, and muscle fibers that has particular functional importance in motor control. During early postnatal development, after the establishment of singular innervation, there is rapid growth of diaphragm muscle (Dia(m)) fibers. In the present study, the association between Dia(m) fiber growth and change...
متن کاملEarly Motoneuron Growth Outgrowth
During development, chick lumbosacral motoneurons have been reported to form precise topographic projections within the limb from the time of initial outgrowth. This observation implies, first, that motoneurons select the appropriate muscle nerve pathway and, second, that they restrict their ramification within the primary uncleaved muscle masses to appropriate regions. Several reports based on...
متن کاملElectrotonic interaction during canine ventricular repolarization.
Canine ventricular refractory periods were measured during test site drive, during drive of single ectopic sites, during fusion drive from two ectopic sites, and during fusion drive from an ectopic site and the test site. Refractory period duration was dependent on the driving modes employed. Refractory periods were 2.63 +/- 0.73%, 3.42 +/- 0.87%, 3.54 +/- 100%, and 4.68 +/- 1.36% (mean +/- SD)...
