Synopsis

The structural and functional integrity of skeletal muscle depends on its innervation; conversely, muscle cells have a major influence on the development of their motor nerve supply. This book covered the proceedings of a Ciba Foundation symposium on plasticity of the neuromuscular system, held at the Ciba Foundation, London, on 19th - 21st January 1988. Current research was made available on the mutual interaction between skeletal muscle fibre and motoneurons at all levels, from the physiological to the molecular. This work should be of interest not only to biologists and neurologists, but also biochemists, neurophysiologists and developmental neurobiologists.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Presents new information on the mutual interaction of skeletal muscle fibers and motoneurons at all levels, from the physiological to the molecular. Covers genetic, physiological, and hormonal factors affecting skeletal muscle development, control of acetylcholine receptor gene expression, selection and organization of motoneurons, and remodelling and refinement of synaptic inputs under the influence of muscle–derived growth factors. Also discusses the plasticity of the neuromuscular system during regeneration after injury, and in the modification of muscle properties and movement patterns in disease states by changes in sensory input or by electrical stimulation.
