General ConclusionsGeneral Conclusions

High neurofilaments have High neurofilaments have more repulsive forces more repulsive forces because they are less because they are less ordered based on light ordered based on light microscopy and small angle microscopy and small angle X-ray scattering data. X-ray scattering data.

Medium neurofilaments have Medium neurofilaments have more attractive forces.more attractive forces.
