Abstract:
Differential uptake of [3H]deoxyglucose by larval frog spinal cord explants in vitro has demonstrated that metabolic activity is localized to the lateral motor columns in response to co-cultured target tissue or a neurite-promoting substratum. Autoradiographic data suggest that chemokinesis may be an integral component of motor neuron growth activation.
