MS - axonal preservation or destruction?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.
MS was classically thought to spare the axon and only affect the myelin sheath, but now we know that in at least some of the plaques there is also axonal destruction. I don't think there's really any more to it than that.
 
I believe that in its most common form axons are spared, but in the more progressive types axons are destroyed.
