Swimming/space travel depends on the proprioceptive muscle spindles?

When the entire neocortex is ablated in rodents, although they are still able to swim, all the limbs move continuously and asynchronously (Vanderwolf 2006; Vanderwolf et al. 1978). Normal animals...

Dear Solimary,

Maybe the following paper will help you:

O’Regan SM, Guglielmo CG, Graeme M. TaylorMeasurement of arthropod body composition using quantitative magnetic resonance. Invertebrate Biology 2012;131(3):216-223. http://sachaoregan.ca/publications/O%27Regan%20et%20al.%202012.pdf

Best wishes from Germany,

If I were you, I would probably try western blotting for skeletal myosin. Myosin makes up ~60% of the total protein in skeletal muscle. You wouldn't be measuring muscle content directly but you would be measuring a major component of it.
