Figure 6

Preservation of cell body, nuclear and nucleolar volume relationships in axotomized, extracted motor neurons. Motor neurons enlarged by axotomy also exhibit scaling of nucleolar, nuclear and cell body volume before and after extraction. Nuclear volumes in cells isolated 16 days after transection of frog lumbar ventral roots correlate with cell body volume (top) and nucleolar volume (bottom) over a wide range of cell body size. Correlation coefficients from first-order regression analyses of unextracted (solid lines) and extracted cells (dashed lines) were significant at p < 0.05.
