Two Drosophila model neurons can regenerate axons from the stump or from a converted dendrite, with feedback between the two sites
Abstract Background After axon severing, neurons recover function by reinitiating axon outgrowth. New outgrowth often originates from the remaining axon stump. However, in many mammalian neurons, new axons initiate from a dendritic site when the axon is injured close to the cell body. Methods Drosop...
