cGMP-mediated facilitation in nerve terminals by enhancement of the spike afterhyperpolarization.

abstract：:The maturation of synaptic structures depends on inductive interactions between axons and their prospective targets. One example of such an interaction is the influence of proprioceptive sensory axons on the differentiation of muscle spindles.
