A histochemical method for gross demonstration of motor end plates.
The thiocholine-ferricyanide method of Karnovsky and Roots for histochemical demonstration of cholinesterases has been applied to whole fetal and neonatal mice and chicks for the visualization of motor end plate patterns in superficial muscles or deeper muscles exposed by dissection.
