Regeneration of dorsal column pathways in peripheral bypass autografts implanted in the spinal cord of adult rats.
Sciatic nerves were implanted into the cervical spinal cord as bypass autografts. Nerve fibers growing into the bypass were shown to be authentic dorsal column axons. Ingrowth of axons is dependent of intact basal laminae in the autograft.
