Feeding the developing brain: Juvenile rats fed diet rich in prebiotics and bioactive milk fractions exhibit reduced anxiety-related behavior and modified gene expression in emotion circuits.

abstract：:Most fibres in adult muscles are derived from secondary myotubes which form around an earlier developing population of primary myotubes. We examined embryonic rat IVth lumbrical muscles at a stage when most secondary myotubes were less than 24 h old, in order to study their acquisition of synaptic terminals. Single ne...
