Nerve stimulation does not necessarily enhance retrograde HRP labeling of rat motoneuron.
The retrograde horseradish peroxidase (HRP) labeling of medial gastrocnemius (MG) motoneurons was not enhanced by electrical stimulation of the sciatic nerve after HRP injection into the MG muscle of the rat. When pulse trains with short intermissions were applied immediately after the HRP injection, the number of labeled MG motoneurons on the stimulated side was even smaller than that on the control side.
