Upregulation of NMDARI mRNA induced by MK-801 is associated with massive death of axotomized motor neurones in adult rats

Studies on the pathogenesis of human motor neurone disease have suffered from the absence of models of motor neurone degeneration in adult animals. Normally in adult rodents, transection of motor neurone axons results in only a modest degree of neuronal death. We reasoned that axotomy-induced motor...
