Axonal growth is now commonly recognized as one of the basic mechanisms underlying neuronal plasticity and reorganization in the adult mammalian CNS, not least in response to traumatic lesions. The monoaminergic neurons-cate cholamine (CA)1-containing and indolamine (IA)-containing ones-in the adult rat brain have previously been shown to possess a high capacity for axonal growth and sprouting, both from their proximal axon stumps after axonal transection (Katzman et al., 1971; Bjorklund et al., 1971 c) and from their intact axons after partial denervations of different terminal regions...
