The nerves that make up the peripheral nervous system are actually the axons (or bundles of axons) from nerve cells or ...

These results suggest that axonal neuropathy is often present in patients with RLS. A comprehensive peripheral nerve investigation should be considered in RLS patients.

Typically, damage to peripheral nerves triggers such an environment. Damage to axonal tracts in the CNS, however, triggers an unfavorable environment for axon elongation, with various components ...

Clinical signs of peripheral neuropathy were found in seven (21%) patients. Nerve conduction studies were abnormal in 24 (73%) patients. The pattern of involvement was predominantly of an axonal ...

The peripheral nervous system largely owes its ... provide the myelin sheath that protects the axons of nerve cells. Schwann cells become active immediately after an injury and transform into ...

After injuries, Schwann cells become the 'repair task force' that restores axons The peripheral nervous system largely owes its ability to regenerate to the high level of plasticity of Schwann cells.
