Abstract

Quick, Quick, Slow The slow muscles of postural stability and the fast muscles of running and jumping are driven by motor neurons that are differentiated by fast and slow biophysical properties. By retrograde labeling of mouse and chick muscle fibers, Müller et al. (p. 1264 ) characterized the developmental distinctions between fast and slow motor neurons. A transmembrane protein, when over- or underexpressed, was discovered to drive specification of the motor neurons and a downstream effector specified some, but not all, of the biophysical attributes.
