    This document discusses axon regeneration and spinal cord injury. It covers topics such as the differences between the central and peripheral nervous systems, why axons in the mammalian central nervous system do not regenerate after injury, research in zebrafish on axon regeneration, neurite outgrowth and remyelination. The document also discusses independent research opportunities including site visits and potential research advisors. The conclusion recognizes that while more research is still needed on axons and spinal cord injuries, current therapies have helped many people recover and live fulfilling lives despite such injuries.

    Why do axons in the mammalian central
    nervous system not regenerate after injury
    and what can we do to encourage axon
    growth?
    Axon
    PNS vs. CNS
    1) What is the CNS?

    Conclusion
    1) Scientists are still working to advance their knowledge about axons and about
    spinal cord injuries in general
    2) In the meantime, many therapies have helped many people recover and live their
    life even with an injury.
