“…Various aspects of dendritic and somal morphology in motoneurons have been studied in this regard (see, e.g., Ulfhake and Kellerth, 1981;Schoenen, 1982;Cameron et al, 1985; Cullheim et al, 1987a,b;Furicchia and Goshgarian, 1987;Ritz et al, 1992). To date, a variety of factors that influence the development of neuronal morphology have been identified, including location (Sprague and Ha, 1964;Sterling and Kuypers, 1967;Rose, 1981;Schoenen, 1982;Keirstead and Rose, 1983;Kurz et al, 1990; Sengelaub, 1993), targets (Sumner andWatson, 1971), glial interactions (Tropea et al, 1988;Johnson et al, 1989;Crandall et al, 1990), trophic substances (Snider, 1988), and afferents (Sprague and Ha, 1964;Sterling and Kuypers, 1968;Szekely, 1976;Bregman and Cruce, 1980;Egger et al, 1980;Kalb, 1994).…”
