Stein Ágnes Noémi Tissue damage and tendency for regeneration in the PNS and CNS 1. Neurodegeneration Neurodegeneration is the umbrella term for the progressive loss of structure or function of neurons, including death of neurons. This deterioration gradually causes a loss of cognitive abilities such as memory and decision making. There are lot of neurodegenerative diseases, for example: Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other dementias Parkinson’s disease (PD) and PD-related disorders Prion disease Motor neurone diseases (MND) Huntington’s Disease (HD) Neurodegenerative diseases are caused by genetic mutations, traumatic brain injury, tumor, infection, oxidative stress, chemical damage, ischemia and hypoxia. 2. Damage and regeneration in the PNS Neuroregeneration differs between the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and the central nervous system (CNS) by the functional mechanisms and especially the extent and speed. When an axon is damaged, the distal segment undergoes Wallerian degeneration, losing its myelin sheath. The proximal segment can either die by apoptosis or undergo the chromatolytic reaction, which is an attempt at repair. In PNS axonal sprouts form at the proximal stump and grow until they enter the distal stump. Injury to the peripheral nervous system immediately elicits the migration of phagocytes, Schwann cells, and macrophages to the lesion site in order to clear away debris such as damaged tissue. After injury, the proximal end swells and it begins to sprout axons. The proximal axons are able to regrow as long as the cell body is intact, and they have made contact with the Schwann cells. 3. Damage and regeneration in the CNS In contrast with peripheral nervous system injury, injury to the central nervous system is not followed by extensive regeneration. It is limited by the inhibitory influences of the glial and extracellular environment. Slower degeneration of the distal segment contributes to the inhibitory environment; inhibitory myelin and axonal debris are not cleared away as quickly. All these factors contribute to the formation of what is known as a glial scar, which axons cannot grow across.
