technical
Taking place in or along nerve fibres, as in axonal damage or axonal transport of proteins.
Axonal is a neuroscience word that turns up in descriptions of how nerves grow, conduct and sometimes fail. Researchers speak of axonal transport when they mean the movement of materials along the fibre, and of axonal damage when that fibre is stretched or severed by injury. Because the axon can be very long, even a small axonal fault can affect a part of the body far from the brain or spinal cord.
