J. vet. Res., 8: 69–77. [Google Scholar] ) original findings that many apparently normal horses have changes in the histological structure of intrinsic laryngeal muscles, such as would be expected from a progressive, unilateral denervation atrophy. In this study, equine larynges have been collected and examined to determine the presence of contralateral weight differences in those muscles.
