TY - JOUR AU - Gaudet, Andrew D. AU - Popovich, Phillip G. AU - Ramer, Matt S. PY - 2011 DA - 2011/08/30 TI - Wallerian degeneration: gaining perspective on inflammatory events after peripheral nerve injury JO - Journal of Neuroinflammation SP - 110 VL - 8 IS - 1 AB - In this review, we first provide a brief historical perspective, discussing how peripheral nerve injury (PNI) may have caused World War I. We then consider the initiation, progression, and resolution of the cellular inflammatory response after PNI, before comparing the PNI inflammatory response with that induced by spinal cord injury (SCI).
