Abstract:
Some of the evidence relating to the possible cellular relationships in regenerating mammalian central nervous tissue is reviewed. From this review it is suggested that data do exist which reveal a potential for regeneration based upon the basic properties and behavior of axons and glial cells. Models of tissue injury which optimize these intrinsic capabilities may generate significant information about the regenerative possibilities of central nervous tissue.
