Our results as well as others' show that mitochondrial vacuolation provides an important window for examination of the mechanism whereby mutant SOD1 causes mitochondrial damage and motor neuron degeneration.
It is interesting to note, however, that in newborn mice a brief local application of 2 mM domoic acid to the exposed cortical surface led to a massive degeneration of AMPA/KA GluR receptor positive Cajal-Retzius neurons [ 44 ] , severe impairment of cortical neuronal migration in vivo and malformation of the domoic acid-treated neocortex [ 44 ] . Thus, because 1 mM domoic acid was clearly toxic to cerebellar granule neurons both in vitro (our current study) and in vivo [ 44 ] , we selected 1 mM domoic acid for the experiments with rat neonatal microglia reported herein.
Axonal regeneration, although normally successful in peripheral nerves, may be nevertheless dependent on degeneration of the distal nerve segment and subsequent reconstruction of the normal tissue geometry.
The mitochondrial vacuolation could in part be the result of persistent mitochondrial dysfunction and further facilitate the downstream motor neuron degeneration events.
Wallerian degeneration normally occurs much faster in peripheral nerves than in white matter [ 46, 47, 48].
