Figure 2. The number of alpha and gamma motor neurons is reduced in dt27J L1 spinal cord.

Figure 2

A–B. A graphical representation showing the number of neurons per defined area of the ventral horn of the L1 spinal cord from wild type (n = 5) and severely affected dt27J (n = 5) mice at P15. There is a significant difference in the number of alpha motor neurons and gamma motor neurons between wild type and dt27J mice (**p<0.01, student t-test). C. No significant difference was observed between wild type and dt27J mice in the number of interneurons per defined area of the ventral horn of the L1 spinal cord (p>0.05, student t-test). D. The total number of motor axons is significantly reduced in dt27J mice (*p<0.05, student t-test). E. The percentage of large caliber motor axons is reduced in dt27J ventral roots by comparison to wild type ventral roots (*p<0.05, student t-test).
