Slowing of axonal regeneration is correlated with increased axonal viscosity during aging
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>As we age, the speed of axonal regeneration declines. At the biophysical level, why this occurs is not well understood.</p> <p>Results</p> <p>To investigate we first measured the rate of axonal elongation of s...
