The neuromuscular junction is the synapse or junction of the axon terminal of a neuron within a muscle fiber plasma membrane. Several diseases involve the neuromuscular junction as the primary site of ...

One case appeared to provide a glimpse of a competitive hierarchy among axons. In muscle III, there were three distinctly labelled motor axons (‘A’, ‘B’ and ‘C’) that produced three stereotyped ...

Frog neuromuscular junction fly-through. Shown in red is a large muscle fiber (diameter 50 micrometers) that is innervated by a myelinated axon colored in white. The interface between muscle and axon ...

IN the crayfish muscle stimulation of the inhibitory axon results in two inhibitory effects: (1) The conductance of the muscle membrane is increased by the released inhibitory transmitter 1; (2) The ...
