Axonopathies can be considered to result from a chemical transection of the axon. The number of axonal toxicants is large an increasing in number. As the axons regenerate, sensations and motor strength are first impaired in the most distal extent of the axonal processes (e.g., the hands and feet), resulting in a () neuropathy. With time an continue injury, the elicit progresses to involve more ()areas of the body and the long axons of the spinal cord.
