Abstract Background The growth-associated protein GAP-43 plays a crucial role in axonal regeneration in injured neurons. Methods We have used immunohistochemistry to investigate the expression of GAP-43 in spinal motoneurons during nerve reconstruction following root avulsion in the neonatal and adult rats. Results Following the injury GAP-43-immunoreactivity IR
