  • Title: The response of denervated axolotl arms to delayed amputation.
    Author: Wallace H.
    Journal: J Embryol Exp Morphol; 1984 Dec; 84():303-7. PubMed ID: 6533253.
    Abstract:
    Forearms of juvenile axolotls can be kept denervated for up to 4 weeks by deflecting brachial nerves to the flank. A more orthodox second denervation prolongs this state up to a total of six weeks. The denervated arms are unable to regenerate for the whole period, but eventually become reinnervated and then regenerate normally. These results and analogous experiments on adult newts prompt a partial retraction and reinterpretation of my previous report on regeneration after prolonged denervation.
