    process where damaged neurons repair and restore their function

    Nerve regeneration, also known as nerve repair or neural regeneration, is the process by which damaged nerve cells (neurons) repair themselves and restore their function. This involves the regrowth of axons, the long thread-like parts of neurons, and the re-establishment of connections with other neurons or target tissues. While peripheral nerves have some capacity for regeneration, central nervous system nerves (like those in the brain and spinal cord) have limited ability to heal, making research in this area crucial for treating injuries and neurodegenerative diseases.
