Morphometry reveals that the absence of NF-H results in only a small reduction in radial growth and the distribution of calibers of motor axons. Axonal area was determined for all axons within L5 ventral roots using a computerized imaging package and was plotted as the frequency of appearance of diameters corresponding to circles of equivalent areas. Distributions from 4- (A–C) and 9-wk-old (D–F) mice. Arrows indicate the diameter(s) corresponding to the peak(s) of maximum frequency in wild-type animals. Points represent the averaged distributions of axon diameters from the entire roots of two mice for each genotype and age.
