Neurotrophins and the neuronal response to axotomy
Unlike facial motoneurons (FMNs), which successfully regenerate after axotomy, rubrospinal neurons (RSNs) undergo a marked atrophy in the second week following cervical axotomy. This delayed atrophy is accompanied by a decline in the expression of regeneration associated genes (RAGs), such as GAP...
