text: Our findings suggest that, studies aimed at investigating neuronal capacity for regenerating axons should not be confounded by extensive damage to extra-axonal tissue because it limits the ability to appropriately evaluate therapeutic potential of factors, which can promote axon regeneration per se and help individuals whose axons are disrupted without accompanying severe extra-axonal tissue damage.
text: Neurons deprived of major input from axons that have been destroyed may themselves atrophy.
text: Therefore, since prior studies have shown that even with pre-treatment it takes over 2 weeks for the axons to regenerate past the optic chiasm22,23,24,33,51, the absence of intact full-length axons at distal from the injury sites along the optic nerve (at 2 weeks after ONC) demonstrates that all the axons were disrupted, and that those axons that are detected along various distances of the optic nerve beyond the injury site (but that are not full-length) have in fact regenerated and not just recovered.
