Abstract
Retrograde growth of myelinated fiber sprouts following section of mouse sural nerves was investigated. Many sprouts grow relatively long distances proximally along the nerve trunk. The largest number of such sprouts was observed at 10 wk after nerve section, with a decrease by 9 mo. The retrogradely growing sprouts arise withinthe neuroma and not more proximally on the nerve.This publication has 15 references indexed in Scilit:
