Figure 11

Microglia/macrophages appear less activated in the proximal axonal segments of the optic nerve at 7 days post-injury. The top image shows truncated proximal axonal segments (white arrows), consistent with their reorganization. Microglia/macrophages are present between these proximal axonal segments. At a higher magnification in the lower images, the microglia/macrophages (red) adjacent to the abnormal axons maintain a resting state with processes paralleling the alignment of the axonal fibers. Scale bar in upper panel: 20 μm.
