Abstract:
We morphologically evaluated the size of axons in the posterior funiculus in different age groups and examined the changes due to aging. In the past, such studies have been conducted at the cervical spinal cord (C6) level, and a decrease in the size and number of axons due to aging has been noted. The current study was conducted at the lower lumbar spinal cord (L2) level.
