The two are not necessarily exclusive. When in the spinal cord, think axons. Quote:
This seems a bit confused. We're either talking CNS neurons and whatnot, or we're talking Peripheral NS nerves. IIRC, what "heals" in the PNS is that the nerves regrow using the old cut-off connections as guide-ropes, so to speak; there is no re-connection, simply growth along the physical pathway provided. |
