Abstract
Electrophysiological and morphological studies present evidence that motor axons posses a potential for growth and differentiation which they can rapidly express in vivo independent of their cell body. Motor axons that were separated from their soma and exposed to colchicine sprouted and formed synapses before undergoing subsequent degeneration.
