Forearms of juvenile axolotls can be kept denervated for up to 4 weeks by deflecting brachial nerves to the flank. A more orthodox second denervation prolongs this state up to a total of six weeks. The denervated arms are unable to regenerate for the whole period, but eventually become reinnervated and then regenerate normally. These results and analogous experiments on adult newts prompt a partial retraction and reinterpretation of my previous report on regeneration after prolonged denervation.
通过将臂神经转向体侧，幼年美西螈的前臂可以在去神经支配的状态下保持长达4周。一种更为传统的二次去神经支配可将这种状态延长至总共6周。在整个期间，去神经支配的手臂无法再生，但最终会重新获得神经支配，然后正常再生。这些结果以及对成年蝾螈进行的类似实验促使我对之前关于长期去神经支配后再生的报告进行部分修正和重新解读。
