What happens when nerve fibers regrow?
The nerve cell body remains intact, and only the “sending” or “receiving” fibers have to regrow as longer extensions from the nerve cell body. The peripheral nerves, outside the brain and spinal cord can do this quite easily. But within the brain and spinal cord there is much impediment to such regrowth.
