Slowing of axonal regeneration is correlated with increased axonal viscosity during aging

BACKGROUND: As we age, the speed of axonal regeneration declines. At the biophysical level, why this occurs is not well understood. RESULTS: To investigate we first measured the rate of axonal elongation of sensory neurons cultured from neonatal and adult rats. We found that neonatal axons grew 40%...
