0 relating to an axon or axons (= thread-like structures attached to a nerve cell that send out signals away from the cell): --
Responses were obtained from both dendritic and axonal processes.
The axonal swellings were larger and more robust.
However, rapid reorganization did not rule out the possibility of later axonal and dendtritic sprouting.
The other has axonal processes which are much reduced, as in the primate, or completely axonless, as in cat and rabbit.
Double arrowheads in each panel indicate the length of the cone soma axonal process.
These changes are thought to create a favorable microenvironment for axonal regeneration.
However, secondary axonal loss may sometimes be severe enough to make diagnosis difficult.
From this location, axonal degeneration would be an important mechanism for neuronal injury.
