Neuronal transport in salamander nerves and its blockade by colchicine

Abstract

Neuronal transport and the effects of colchicine on it has been studied in salamander spinal nerves. Cholinesterase (ChE) accumulation above the cut region of a nerve at 12.5 degrees C was shown to depend upon two processes. One caused a transient increase which declined to zero by 24 h; the other was explained by axoplasmic transport. At 22 degrees C the transient change was not observed, but the rate of accumulation attributable to transport …
