TL;DR
The number of neurons in the normal rat hypoglossal nucleus was calculated and compared with the neuronal number in this nucleus 120 days after a single or a double hypog lossal nerve lesion, which showed no significant nerve cell loss in the single lesion experiments.
Abstract
The number of neurons in the normal rat hypoglossal nucleus was calculated and compared with the neuronal number in this nucleus 120 days after a single or a double hypoglossal nerve lesion. The single lesion consisted of a crush or a transection. The double lesion experiments were initiated by a crush or a transection followed by a transection at various intervals after the initial lesion. The results showed no significant nerve cell loss in the single lesion experiments. However, both types of double lesion experiments resulted in a significant nerve cell loss.

The nucleic acid content of neuronal nucleoli and the total cell body nucleic Acid content of neurones of the hypoglossal nucleus were measured by ultraviolet absorption microspectrography and the results confirmed the predominance of Na6(CO3)(SO4) in neurons of the H2O2-positive type.

In the sciatic nerve of adult mice, the rate of axonal elongation following nerve excision was 27% faster than normal if the nerve had been crushed two weeks before the excision.

The results showed that the average rate of regeneration slowed with increasing age, although a small population of axons continued to regenerate rapidly regardless of age, and findings in the peripheral nervous system may shed light on similar functional changes occurring in the central nervous system.

It was found that the rate of axonal elongation decreased as neurons aged, related to the changes with age which occur in the axonal transport system.

Qualitative light microscopical observations, morphometric measurements, and cytophotometric values for nucleolar and cytoplasmic RNA were compared in axotomized rat dorsal motor vagal and hypoglossal neurons to correlated with consective cell counts and examination of the peripheral nerves.

The effect of varying the conditioning interval (the time between conditioning and testing lesions) on the regeneration of sensory axons in the rat sciatic nerve is examined to determine the range of conditioning intervals which are followed by enhanced axonal outgrowth.

The view, based on experiments with developing neurons, is that the increasing ability of the cells with age to survive axon severance can be closely correlated in time with the cytological maturation of the cell's organelle system for protein synthesis and, therefore, with thecell's competence to maintain itself.
