A rapid method for visualising nerve terminal innervation in human muscle using an acetylcholinesterase method combined with silver staining.
A modified acetylcholinesterase-silver technique has been used to study the nerve terminal innervation in human muscle removed at biopsy and in post-mortem material. The results of "Functional Terminal Innervation Ratio's" are given, and the advantages of using this method are discussed.
