Wallerian Degeneration
Summary
Wallerian degeneration
is a process that occurs after a
nerve fiber
is cut or damaged, leading to the
degeneration of the axon
distal to the
injury site
. This process is crucial for understanding
nerve injury
and regeneration, as it involves the
breakdown of the axon
and myelin, followed by a cascade of cellular and
molecular events
that prepare the nerve for
potential regeneration
.
