Fig. 2

A new axon emerging from a dendrite can grow along the nerve. a The axon of a Class I ddaE neuron was axotomized very close to the cell body. The orange arrow shows the cut site, and a schematic is included. b The same neuron was imaged 96 h after injury. One of the dendrites converted to an axon and re-joined other axons in the same segment of the larvae. Dotted line shows the path of the new axon
