The perisynaptic Schwann cell (PSC) has gained recent attention with respect to its roles in synaptic function, remodeling, and regeneration at the vertebrate neuromuscular junction (NMJ). Here we test the hypothesis that, following nerve injury, processes extended by PSCs guide regenerating nerve t
