Figure 9From: Impact of acute inflammation on spinal motoneuron synaptic plasticity following ventral root avulsionClustering of terminals on the surfaces of motoneurons after VRA and EAE induction. Distribution of gap lengths between clusters of terminals apposing motoneuron soma cell membranes. (A) Normal distribution of intervals between nerve terminals showing that boutons are organized in clusters of inputs. (B) Distribution in VRA-only animals showing alteration by extensive retraction of terminals. (C and D) Decreased presence of large gaps between terminals after the combination of EAE and VRA.Back to article page
