The method of retrograde axonal transport of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) was used to identify the motoneurons that innervate the distal forelimb muscles via the ulnar nerve in normal and dystrophic (C56BL/6J dy2j/dy2j) mice. In both normal and dystrophic mice this motor nucleus was located in spinal segments C6 through T1. No clear division, on the basis of size, into alpha and gamma motoneuron populations was apparent. The motoneurons of dystrophic mice were fewer in number (26.5 vs. 35) but larger in cross-sectional area (780 vs. 674 microns2) than those of age-matched control mice. These results are quantitatively similar to those reported for the hind limb soleus muscle of dystrophic mice and suggest that the motoneuronal changes are a reflection of the dystrophic process rather than the associated spontaneous action potential generation seen in the dystrophic hind limb muscles.
