Abstract
Recent reports have shown that the effect of nerve trauma on the axonal transport of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) may differ depending on the type of injury. While the axonal transport of AChE was seen to decrease drastically during the 2-3 days following nerve injury, whatever the injury [3, 5, 7], the recovery which followed this initial drop was seen to take place only after nerve crush [5,7] or nerve freezing [5] but not after nerve section and very little after nerve ligature [5].
