ABSTRACT
An adult anuran can still walk or swim if the nerves supplying one or even two limbs are de-afferentated (Gray, 1950). However, in a developing amphibian, a limb at motile stages becomes paralysed when deprived of its sensory input. A sequence of degenerative changes then follow in the cord and in peripheral nerves.
