Abstract
IF motor nerve fibres are allowed to grow into a denervated muscle, the regenerating axons find their way to the site of the original end-plate region and re-establish functional contact with muscle fibres1. It was, therefore, interesting to inquire whether nerve fibres would establish connexion with muscle fibres if these had no end-plates.
