The response of central glia to peripheral nerve injury
Abstract
Microglial and astroglial cells undergo prompt responses to peripheral motor and sensory axon injury. These responses include proliferation of microglial cells as well as hypertrophy and increased levels of glial fibrillary acidic protein around the axotomized motoneurons and in the central projection territories of peripherally axotomized sensory ganglion cells. Proliferating microglial cells migrate towards reacting motoneurons, however, without directly apposing their cell membrane. Astroglial cells, on the other hand, increase their structural interrelationship with reacting motoneurons, seemingly at the expense of some presynaptic terminals. In sensory projection areas, microglial cells phagocytose degenerating axons and terminals. Beyond these observations, the functional role of the central glial cell response to peripheral nerve injury is obscure.

Peripheral nerve injury causes massive stripping of synapses on axotomized spinal motoneurons and induces disintegration of PNNs surrounding the motoneurons.
“Peripheral nerve injury, which causes massive stripping of synapses on axotomized spinal motoneurons (Svensson et al., 1993), induces a disintegration of PNNs surrounding the motoneurons.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
