Summary

The process of Wallerian degeneration and resorption of disintegration products after repeated section of the nerve is much more rapid than following a single nerve trauma. The rate of degeneration and disintegration of regenerated nerve fibers after their division is more rapid in all cases, irrespective of the level at which the second trauma is inflicted — above or below the first scar. By their properties, regenerated nerve fibers greatly resemble the nerve fibers of young animals, degeneration of which after trauma is more rapid than in adult animals. This points to a lower resistance of the regenerated nerve fibers and their increased reactivity.
