The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) allows communication between motor neurons and
muscle fibers. During development, marked morphological changes occur as the functional …

The mammalian neuromuscular junction (NMJ) comprises a presynaptic terminal, a
postsynaptic receptor region on the muscle fiber (endplate), and the perisynaptic (terminal) …

The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) of adult mammalian muscle is the site of the transduction
of electrical stimuli, generated by the nervous system, to the underlying muscle fibres …

Publisher Summary The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is a chemical synapse that is
anatomically and functionally differentiated for the transmission of a signal from the motor …

The objective of this investigation was to compare the effects of decreased vs. increased
activity on the neuromuscular system. Twenty-four young adult (7 weeks old) Sprague …

The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) displays considerable morphological plasticity as a result
of differences in activity level, as well as aging. This is true of both presynaptic and …

▪ Abstract We describe the formation, maturation, elimination, maintenance, and
regeneration of vertebrate neuromuscular junctions (NMJs), the best studied of all synapses …

Presynaptic active zones are synaptic vesicle release sites that play essential roles in the
function and pathology of mammalian neuromuscular junctions (NMJs). The molecular …

Highlights•The neuromuscular junction is highly adaptable to exercise training both
physiologically and morphologically.•Training-induced adaptations occur at both the …

The neuromuscular junction (NMJ)—a synapse formed between lower motor neuron and
skeletal muscle fibre—represents a major focus of both basic neuroscience research and …
