In this chapter, we will first introduce several key molecular cellular mechanisms that are involved in maintaining axonal integrity during postnatal growth and throughout an animal's entire life span. These include both neuronal-intrinsic mechanisms, such as axonal transport and degradation of unwanted proteins, and other mechanisms, such as interactions with nonneuronal cells. Next, we will discuss mechanisms regulating axon degeneration. These cover molecular processes mediating developmental axonal pruning during neural circuit formation, as well as specific pathways underlying pathological axon degenerations independent of cell death.
