The investigations of sprouting and reactive synaptogenesis in motor structures of the spinal cord, brain stem, thalamus, and cerebral cortex are reviewed. The reactions of the neurons and neuronal connections to injury and the ability of the nervous system to recover the impaired connections in the early postnatal period are compared with those in adult animals. The sprouting phenomenon appearing in the intact central nervous system is analyzed too. The mechanisms of synaptic reorganization of the nervous centers are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
