Persistence of somatic and dendritic growth associated processes and induction of dendritic sprouting in motoneurones after neonatal axotomy in the rat.

abstract：:We describe a method for applying the carbocyanine dye DiI to the rat heart that takes advantage of the dye's lipophilic properties and its ability to diffuse easily into tissues, and results in specific retrograde labelling of cardiac vagal preganglionic neurones in the medulla oblongata. Most of the labelled neurone...
