## Abstract A 3‐cm gap in the ulnar nerve at the elbow in a subhuman primate was the first model of nerve regeneration across a polyglycolic, bioabsorbable conduit. When a prospective trial was begun in humans, the first clinically available bioabsorbable conduit, the Neurotube™, was utilized to re

## Abstract Facial nerve axotomy (FNA) is a well‐established experimental model of motoneuron regeneration. After peripheral nerve axotomy, a sequence of events including glial activation and axonal regrowth leads to functional recovery of the afflicted pool of motoneurons. Using microarray analysi
Previous experiments from our laboratory have shown that application of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) to the red nucleus or the motor cortex stimulates an increase in the expression of regeneration-associated genes in rubrospinal and corticospinal neurons. Furthermore, we have previously
