text: If an axon that is not fully developed is cut, the polarity can change and other neurites can potentially become the axon.
text: This alteration of polarity only occurs when the axon is cut at least 10 μm shorter than the other neurites.
text: If an axon that is not fully developed is cut, the polarity can change and other neurites can potentially become the axon.
text: This alteration of polarity only occurs when the axon is cut at least 10 μm shorter than the other neurites.
text: Interestingly, when a hippocampal axon is cut closer than 35 μm from the cell body, a former dendrite can grow to become the new axon; this is an impressive example of the plasticity of neuronal polarity24,27,28,29,30.
text: μm away from the cell body, which could account for the observed polarity change when the axon is cut closer than 35 μm from the soma30: the cut would ablate the stable microtubules and hence the landmark that could direct the transport of growth-promoting cargo into the axon.
text: These changes are involved in the conditioning response, which leads to a more vigorous regenerative response if an axon is cut again20,90,91,92.
text: It is possible that axons that are cut near to the cell body contain molecules that are not present further down the axon either because of passive diffusion into the axon from the cell body or because the axon initial segment becomes leaky after damage102.
text: Recent studies have shown, however, that after axons are cut, there is an acute axonal degeneration (AAD) event at the injury site that precedes classic Wallerian degeneration (Kerschensteiner et al. 2005).
