Lemniscal axon withdrawal affects mostly the terminal branches. Histograms showing the relative distribution of axon branch lengths in the normal and deafferented fields of termination in VPL. The arrows point to the bar corresponding to the shortest branches, which are less numerous in the deafferented VPL, suggesting that many small-sized branches are lost in this area.
