Uniaxial strain injury induced axonal beading. (a) Example of axonal beading (arrows) observed after uniaxial strain injury, (i) before injury and (ii) 4 hours after 45% strain injury. (b) The number of beads occurring along the length of an axon within 4 hours after injury normalized per 100 µm length for 10%, 25% and 45% applied strain. *P < 0.05 compared to 10% strain. (c) Diameter dependence of axonal beading after 10%, 25% and 45% uniaxial strain injury. The diameters of axons were grouped into 0.4 µm bins from 0.6 µm to 2.6 µm and the number of beads occurring along the length of an axon is normalized per 100 µm length. *P < 0.05 compared to 0.6 µm–1.0 µm for each specific applied strain. All error bars represent s.e.m. (number of experiments = 6–10). Scale bar, 10 µm.
