The diversity of triggers for axon degeneration and apparent differences in the axonal responses suggest that diverse mechanisms of axon degeneration might operate in different disorders.

Axon pathology in some neurodegenerative disorders involves mechanisms that are related to those occurring during Wallerian degeneration after axon injury. Wallerian degeneration has significant ...
