Answer:

The neuron will not be able to transmit information to other cells.

Explanation:

Axons or nerve fibres is the part of the neuron that is responsible for transmitting information away from the cell to the next cell while dendrites bring information to the cell. Once the axon is damaged, the implication is that the neuron will not be able to transmit information to other cells.
