Sprague‐Dawley rats develop progressive motor dysfunctions during the third year of life.
We use this as a model to examine possible neuronal mechanism (s) that may cause motor …

Trophic factors play important roles for the regulation of several motoneuron characteristics.
In this report, we have studied the effects of different trophic factors on the regulation of two …

Age-related changes in the expression of the growth associated protein GAP-43/B-50, and
the neuropeptides substance P and calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) were …

The mRNA levels for growth‐associated protein 43 (GAP‐43), acidic fibroblast growth factor
(aFGF), α and β‐calcitonin gene‐related peptide (CGRP), cholecystokinin (CCK) and …

The Wobbler mouse possesses an inherited form of motoneuron disease that expresses
itself most dramatically in the forelimebs. Previous immunocytochemical (ICC) studies have …

Aging is associated with a decline in neuromuscular and somatosensory functions. Senile
muscle atrophy, considered to be of neurogenic origin, is prevalent, and sensory thresholds …

Sciatic nerve axotomy induces the transganglionic expression of the growth associated
protein GAP-43 and neuropeptide Y (NPY) in lumbar DRG projections to the gracile nucleus …

To investigate the neural basis for functional recovery of the cerebral cortex following spinal
cord injury, we measured the expression of growth‐associated protein 43 (GAP‐43), which …

Using immunofluorescence and cytofluorimetric scanning techniques in the rat, the fast
anterograde and retrograde axonal transport of growth-associated protein-43-like …

Crush or transection of a peripheral nerve is known to induce transganglionic degenerative
atrophy (TDA) in the segmentally related, ipsilateral Rolando substance of the spinal cord …
