Refer to the figure.
Curare is a toxin that blocks acetylcholine receptors, including those at the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). Based on the experimental data from chick embryos that were treated with curare (red line) and control chick embryos (blue line), what happens to motor neurons when the communication between motor neurons and muscles is silenced? What would you expect to happen when curare is removed? What does this suggest about normal motor system development?
