title: Plasticity of developing neuromuscular synapses.
abstract: Developing neuromuscular synapses are susceptible to modulation by the presence of synaptic activity and a number of chemical factors originated from either pre- or postsynaptic cells. In vitro studies of functional modulation of synaptic strength by electrical stimulation of pre- and postsynaptic cells suggested an essential role of retrograde interactions at developing synapses.
