This regenerative capacity may be the result of extrinsic influences, or intrinsic properties of the motoneurons themselves, or interactions between extrinsic and intrinsic factors. As part of the effort to establish circumstances of importance for this central regeneration, a detailed analysis of the morphology of lumbar motoneurons was performed 3\u201311 weeks following a ventral funiculus axotomy. Fourteen large neurons considered to be intramedullarly axotomized alpha motoneurons were labeled intracellularly with horseradish peroxidase.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Twelve out of the fourteen analyzed neurons had an axonlike regenerating process. These twelve neurons could, in turn, be separated into two groups, based on the proximity of the axonal lesion and the proximal morphology of the regenerating process. Thus, after a comparatively proximal axotomy, new axons were produced, originating either from the cell soma or from a distal dendritic branch. After a more distal axotomy, but still intramedullarly, it seemed as if the proximal part of the original axon always persisted and subsequently regenerated.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Analysis of the relation between the cell soma diameter and the diameter and number of its stem dendrites revealed that dendrites become thinner and also decrease in number after an intramedullary axotomy. In this way, it may be calculated that the total dendritic surface area of lesioned motoneurons will decrease by approximately half. In four neurons, most dendrites had an abnormal appearance in the light microscope with increasing diameter of distal branches. Ultrastructural analysis revealed that such dendrites were surrounded by myelin sheaths.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Small filopodia in close relation to axon terminals were found to emerge from the cell membrane of the lesioned motoneurons. Their function may be to establish contact with presynaptic elements and then retract them to the cell membrane.<\/jats:p><jats:p>We interpret the morphological changes of the motoneurons as signs of a large capacity for axonal regeneration, even after axotomy in the central nervous system.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/cne.903180205","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,1,1]],"date-time":"2005-01-01T19:25:26Z","timestamp":1104607526000},"page":"188-208","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":58,"title":["A light and electron microscopic study of intracellularly HRP\u2010labeled lumbar motoneurons after intramedullary axotomy in the adult cat"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"318","author":[{"given":"H.","family":"Lind\u00e5","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S.","family":"Cullheim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.","family":"Risling","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2004,10,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","series-title":"Advances in Cellular Neurobiology","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"215","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-0-12-008303-9.50011-6","volume-title":"Axonal elongation in peripheral and central nervous system transplants","author":"Aguayo A.","year":"1982"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3051","DOI":"10.1523\/JNEUROSCI.04-12-03051.1984","article-title":"Correlation between growth form and movement and their dependence of neuronal age","volume":"4","author":"Argiro V.","year":"1984","journal-title":"J.
