Organization and maintenance of the motor nerve terminal: Roles for presynaptic actin and perisynaptic Schwann cells

At the adult frog neuromuscular junctions (Rana pipien and Rana catesbiana), F-actin microfilaments are enriched in the nonrelease domains of nerve terminals, outside the vesicle-rich release sites. The development of this defined F-actin cytoskeleton may be critical for nerve terminal function as m...
