2021, Experimental GerontologyCitation Excerpt :The age-related loss of the MN appears to be preceded by decrements in metabolic capacity, as well as structural changes, including myelin sheath irregularities, myelin ovoids, macrophages overloaded with myelin debris, and Wallerian degeneration (Larsson and Ansved, 1995). Some researchers have used the term “sick MNs” when describing this state (Einsiedel and Luff, 1992; McComas et al., 1971), as it is associated with significant loss of MN function across a range of domains, including reduced action potential conduction velocity, impaired axoplasmic transport (Brunetti et al., 1987; Kanda and Hashizume, 1989; McMartin and O'Connor, 1979; Pestronk et al., 1980), and, ultimately, reduced capacity for regeneration (Einsiedel and Luff, 1992). However, it should be noted that the “sick MN” terminology has fallen out of favour as it is important not to conflate aging with disease.
