Ventral rhizotomy enhances regeneration of uninjured sensory neurons

Abstract:
Uninjured sensory neurons show metabolic and morphologic changes, as well as enhanced regeneration, when exposed to adjacent degenerating ventral root fibers. The release of a neurotrophic factor from the degenerating nerve fibers may be responsible for 'priming' the uninjured neuron and thereby enhancing its response to injury.
