Axon Regeneration
Regeneration — proximal stumps sprout into the empty Schwann-cell tubes (bands of Büngner), growth cones staggered as they advance.
Description

With its conserved genome, relatively simple nervous system, and transparent body, C. elegans has recently emerged as a productive model to uncover the cellular mechanisms that regulate and execute axon regeneration.
