Title : Collateral Sprouting (CS) in the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) - the silent savior
Abstract:
This is a discourse on the less known phenomenon of Collateral Sprouting (CS) in the Peripheral Nervous System (PNS), including the author’s original ideas & summary of articles published by the author in this field recently. The talk includes a general description of CS covering what is known, what is not known and what is not well researched & emphasized. It will also cover author’s original ideas about how the CS is working silently in so many areas hitherto unrecognised as well as the potential uses of this in future with well-designed interventions based on CS to reduce neurological deficits & disability resulting from more central lesions. This knowledge helps the clinician to avoid misinterpretation of clinical and neurophysiological observations; therefore, any management plans and patient counselling will be more appropriate.
