    Axolotl limb regeneration depends on nerve supply. Removing major nerves, especially nerve 4, resulted in smaller regenerates with poor bone formation, supporting a neurotome subtraction hypothesis.

    Area of Science:

    • Regenerative biology
    • Developmental biology
    • Neuroscience

    Background:

    • Limb regeneration in axolotls is a complex process.
    • The role of innervation in skeletal development during regeneration is not fully understood.
    • Previous hypotheses suggest a neurotome subtraction model for developmental abnormalities.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the impact of partial denervation on axolotl limb regeneration.
    • To determine the specific contribution of different brachial nerves to skeletal element replacement.
    • To evaluate the neurotome subtraction hypothesis in the context of axolotl forelimb regeneration.

    Main Methods:

    • Surgical resection of specific brachial nerves (nerves 3, 4, and 5) in axolotl forelimbs.
    • Observation and measurement of regenerate size and skeletal structure.

  • Analysis of the degree of skeletal element deficiency in partially innervated regenerates.

    • Main Results:

    • Partial innervation led to reduced axolotl limb regenerates with deficient skeletal element replacement.
    • Removal of nerve 4, the largest brachial nerve, caused the most pronounced deformities.
    • Removal of nerves 3 or 5 resulted in less severe reduction deformities.
    • Skeletal development dependency on nerves was observed, but not a strict segmental pattern.

    Conclusions:

    • Nerve supply is crucial for proper skeletal formation during axolotl limb regeneration.
    • The findings provide tentative support for the neurotome subtraction hypothesis.
    • Overlapping innervation patterns may explain the lack of strict segmental effects in axolotl forelimbs.
