Research Abstract |
Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycans (CSPGs) and myelin-associated proteins are known as axon-inhibitory molecules. Axonal regeneration after transection of the lateral olfactory tract (LOT), the main fiber tract of the central olfactory system, was promoted in the adult brain by degradation of CSPGs or re-transection of the naturally regenerated-LOT that consisted of unmyelinated fibers.
