Regeneration of gamma-fusimotor axons after nerve-freeze injury in the cat.
Nerve injury was produced by application of dry ice to the common peroneal nerve. After 20 weeks, muscle-spindle primary endings responded normally to stretch and the spindles were found to have a fully functional fusimotor innervation.
