After traumatic axonal injury, there is uncontrolled influx of sodium (Na+) ions (green balls), as illustrated in figure 2, triggering reversal of the sodium-calcium (Ca2+) exchanger (yellow) and sustained opening of the voltage-gated calcium channels (red), resulting in progressive increases of intra-axonal calcium ions (purple). Adapted from Wolf et al. (2001).
