From: Absence of IFNγ expression induces neuronal degeneration in the spinal cord of adult mice
Graphs showing the frequency distribution (in micrometers) of gaps between the terminals along the cell soma membrane of α-motoneurons. (A-B) C57BL/6J animals showed a higher synaptic elimination one week after lesion. The gaps between clusters of boutons are possibly increased due to selective retractions of inputs. (C and D) IFNγ-KO mice showed a lower retraction of terminals after nerve lesion.
