Monosynaptic tracing from lower-leg MNs showed an absence of CM cells. (a) Example of the contralateral cortex showing the absence of the CM cells. Superimposed view from 10 sections. Scale bar, 1 mm. (b) Longitudinal section of the lumbar spinal cord showing GFP-labeled interneurons. C, caudal, R, rostral, Lt, left, Rt, right. Arrow, midline. Scale bar, 200 μm. (c) Coronal section of the medulla oblongata showing GFP-labeled neurons. Scale bar, 1 mm. (d,e) High power views of selected regions in c showing GFP-labeled neurons in the vestibular nucleus (d) and reticular formation (e). Scale bar, 250 μm. Red, a fluorescent Nissl staining by Neurotrace Red. Animals were received intramuscular injection on P8 and sacrificed on P18. The images are representative of five independent experiments.
