  • Title: A small lamellar corpuscle within a small nerve bundle outside the tendon of the rat soleus muscle.
    Author: Desaki J, Nishida N.
    Journal: J Electron Microsc (Tokyo); 2009 Apr; 58(2):67-72. PubMed ID: 19193826.
    Abstract:
    A small nerve bundle outside the tendon of the adult rat soleus muscle contained a small lamellar corpuscle similar in structural organization to the ordinary paciniform corpuscle. A terminal axon composing this corpuscle was originated from a side branch of an afferent nerve fiber and surrounded by a number (approximately 15) of closely packed flattened lamellae of modified Schwann cells, while the stem nerve fiber freely terminated within the nerve bundle. These findings suggested that an afferent nerve fiber retracted after degeneration might extend a new branch within the nerve bundle and unexpectedly form a lamellar corpuscle within it.
