Secondary Motoneurons Primary Motoneurons Forehand, C.J. & Farel, P.B. (1982) Spinal cord development in anuran larvae: I. Primary and secondary motoneurons. J. Comp. Neurol., 209, 386-394. Retrograde staining of motoneurons in the 9th ventral root using horseradish peroxidase (HRP) reveals two populations of motoneurons. Primary motoneurons are born very early in embryonic development (during gastrulation) and innervate the swimming musculature of the tadpole. Secondary motoneurons are born later, beginning in larval stages and continuing through metamorphosis.
Axons of primary motoneurons exit in medial fascicles (M) of the ventral roots. Axons of secondary motoneurons exit in lateral fascicles (L) of the ventral roots.

Maturation of Pedal Locomotion in Rana Catesbeiana 1. Intrinsic mechanisms 2. Contextual stimuli 3. Morphological change
Maturation of Pedal Locomotion in Rana Catesbeiana 1. Intrinsic mechanisms Illustrated in isolated CNS preparations • patterned input to motoneurons precedes • muscle differentation • alternation between left and right sides • is first activity observed • synchronous activity appears relatively late
Maturation of Pedal Locomotion in Rana Catesbeiana 1. Intrinsic mechanisms 2. Contextual stimuli • Change in habitat preference from deep water • to land • Increased stimulation of the limbs and • decreased effectiveness of tail
Maturation of Pedal Locomotion in Rana Catesbeiana 1. Intrinsic mechanisms 2. Contextual stimuli 3. Morphological change • Limbs become more effective and the tail • becomes less effective due to changes in sizes
