How would an injury to the afferent neurons in the left leg affect the victims sensory and motor functions?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
Say for e.g. that all the afferent fibres coming from the leg have been cut in half. This could block the somatosensory information (pain, temp, touch, etc) coming from the leg, leading to numbness. Motor function would be impaired due to the inability to feel and therefore react to certain stimuli.
It could also lead to chronic pain (known as neuropathic pain).

What may happen if microtubules collapse to cause Alzheimer's disease?
Another hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease is the presence of neurofibrillary tangles inside neurons. These involve a protein called tau, which functions like railroad ties to bind microtubule “tracks” together. In the brains of AD victims, tau abandons its microtubule-stabilizing role and grabs onto other tau molecules, forming spaghetti-like neurofibrillary tangles, which kill the neurons by disrupting their transport mechanisms. As the brain cells die, the brain shrinks. Loss of neurons in the basal forebrain is associated with a shortage of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, and drugs that inhibit breakdown of acetylcholine slightly enhance cognitive function in AD patients.
