## Abstract The regeneration of motor and sensory neurons and the morphological changes of the target muscle after phrenic nerve transfer were investigated in adult rats. Six months following nerve transfer, 326.0 ± 16.31 phrenic motoneurons regenerated into musculocutaneous nerve, which is not dif
