Summary
Transneuronal effects distant from acute brain lesions are called diaschisis. Examples are spinal shock and hyporeflexia after acute stroke. Pathological effects distant from chronic brain lesions are anterograde and retrograde transneuronal atrophy. This atrophy is best seen in the visual and cerebro-cerebellar systems, but it almost certainly occurs in other regions of the cerebral cortex. The mechanism of transneuronal trophism is not fully understood.
