Gamma motor neurons express distinct genetic markers at birth and require muscle spindle-derived GDNF for postnatal survival

BACKGROUND: Gamma motor neurons (γ-MNs) selectively innervate muscle spindle intrafusal fibers and regulate their sensitivity to stretch. They constitute a distinct subpopulation that differs in morphology, physiology and connectivity from α-MNs, which innervate extrafusal muscle fibers and exert fo...
