Competition among axon terminals is usually considered to contribute to the formation of patterned synaptic connections. During axonal regeneration of motor neurons in the cockroach, leg muscles initially become innervated by appropriate and inappropriate motor neurons. All axon terminals from inappropriate neurons eventually are eliminated, resulting in the reformation of the original innervation pattern. Destruction of an identified motor neuron by the intracellular injection of pronase did not prevent the eilimenation of inappropriate axon terminals in the muscle normally innervated by that motor neuron. Therefore, competition does not play a role in the reinnervation of the leg muscles. This indicates a major role for specific cell‐cell recognition.
