Journal of Neurochemistry, 1969
Abstract—A study of Wallerian degeneration as a function of time has indicated that the degenerative process is sequential, that it begins with myelin that was laid down last and progresses toward myelin that was laid down first. It is proposed that Wallerian degeneration is a relatively poor model for the study of degeneration of nervous tissue in ...

Wallerian Degeneration in the Rat

Journal of Experimental Biology, 1954
ABSTRACT If a peripheral nerve is cut, that portion of the nerve distal to the point of section undergoes a series of changes characteristic of Wallerian degeneration. Logan, Mannell & Rossiter (1952 a) showed that in the peripheral segment of the sciatic nerve of the cat degenerating after nerve section there is an increase in the ...

CHEMISTRY OF WALLERIAN DEGENERATION

Archives of Neurology & Psychiatry, 1950
DEMYELINATION, or the destruction of the myelin sheath of nerve fibers, is a prominent characteristic of many neurologic disorders. An understanding of the chemical changes associated with demyelination is obviously desirable. A study of these changes is practicable only if there is available a ready means of producing the destruction of "myelin ...
