ABSTRACT
It is the purpose of this paper to describe the development of the lumbar dorsal root ganglia after amputation of the leg. This operation can be performed at a very early stage before any connexions between the limb and the central nervous system are established. Alternatively, it can be performed at a number of later stages after the limb has been innervated. The extent of interaction can then be investigated for each stage by observing the subsequent development of the ganglia and comparing it with that of normal animals.
