A critical period for axon regrowth through a lesion in the developing mammalian retina.

Abstract:

Although the central nervous system of mature mammals is incapable of regeneration, certain elements present in the developing system must permit and promote the growth of new axons to their initial targets. We investigate whether the environment of a developing visual system is capable of supporting regeneration in the Brazilian opossum Monodelphis domestica, in which the retinofugal system develops postnatally. Retinae were lesioned up to the 16th postnatal day and analysed for regeneration...
