Pervasive Synaptic Branch Removal in the Mammalian Neuromuscular System at Birth
Using light and serial electron microscopy, we show profound refinements in motor axonal branching and synaptic connectivity before and after birth. Embryonic axons become maximally connected just before birth when they innervate ~10-fold more muscle fibers than in maturity. In some developing muscl...
