Abstract

Nerve injury affects the neurophysiology of severed and bystander axons. In this issue of Neuron, Hsu etal. demonstrate that this early effect is cell-autonomous and driven by dSarm, independently of its NADase activity otherwise required for axon degeneration. The authors show that axon injury signal spreads to intact neurons via glial cells.
