Comparisons of neurite growth on crushed and uncrushed spinal cord white matter. A, Neurite length on crushed segments of spinal cord white matter was significantly reduced compared with that on uncrushed segments. B, The angular deviation of neurites from an orientation parallelto the longitudinal axis of the underlying fiber tract was significantly greater on crushed segments of spinal cord white matter compared with that on uncrushed segments. All bars indicate mean + SEM (^*p < 0.05; ^**p < 0.001).
