THE great problems of neural development express themselves in many small mysteries. Among these is the phenomenon of motoneurone death. Vertebrate embryos generate at first an excess of motoneurones, and 500fo or more of the initial set normally die, round about the time when neuromuscular connections begin to form. Why are these surplus cells produced, and what causes their death? The phenomena are well-documented for several systems, chiefly in birds and amphibians, including the spinal motoneurones that innervate the limbs, the trochlear motoneurones that innervate the superior oblique muscle of the eye, and the parasympathetic motoneurones of the ciliary ganglion, which innervate the intrinsic eye muscles (for a recent review see
