Expression of the NGF receptor gene in sensory neurons and their cutaneous targets prior to and during innervation.

abstract：:The process by which neural circuitry in the brain plans and executes movements is not well understood. Until recently, most available data were limited either to single-neuron electrophysiological recordings or to measures of aggregate field or metabolism. Neither approach reveals how individual neurons' activities a...
