"It is now clear that the basic mechanism for how neurofilaments affect axonal diameters remains unanswered," Garcia said.
-
When nerve cells are unmyelinated, the axon has a smaller diameter and contains neurofilaments that are less modified and are more compact.
-
Loss of all neurofilaments in the axon results in myelinated axons with slowed conduction velocities.
-
For the last 15 years, the proposed underlying mechanism for an axon's diameter growth has focused on myelin-dependent modification of regions of neurofilaments that are located within the heavy and medium subunits.

Other abnormal findings include a messy arrangement of neurofilaments, which may interfere with nerve cell transmission.
