Schwann cells contribute to efficient axonal regeneration after peripheral nerve injury and, when grafted to the central nervous system (CNS), also support a modest degree of central axonal regeneration. This study examined (1) whether Schwann cells grafted to the CNS exhibit normal patterns of diff
It has been postulated that the aberrant projection of sympathetic axons to individual primary sensory neurons may provide the morphological basis for pain-related behaviors in rat models of chronic pain syndrome. Since nerve growth factor (NGF) can elicit the collateral sprouting of noradrenergic s
