Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)

• Neurofilament protein is differentially distributed in subpopulations of corticocortical projection neurons in the macaque monkey visual pathways.
• The heavy neurofilament protein is expressed in regenerating adult but not embryonic mammalian optic fibers in vitro.
• Collectively, these data indicate that the anterograde axonal transport of neurofilament protein is an active process that is dependent, directly or indirectly, on nucleoside triphosphates.
• Several studies have shown that neurofilament protein is involved in the formation of neuropathological lesions of several neurodegenerative diseases.
• These data indicate that there was a marked time-dependent accumulation of neu- rofilament protein proximal to the constrictions, which suggests that neurofilament protein is transported antero- gradely in these axons.
