Neurons are notoriously slow at recovering from injury and new cells do not tend to grow after damage to nerves in adults. However, rewiring of axons from existing neurons can restore function lost to nerve damage by using different groups of neurons to perform the same action. Lesions to the sensory nerves of an arm leads to disuse of the arm and eventually the motor representation of that arm disappears in the brain. However, if the animal's good arm is restrained it will begin using its sensory-deprived arm (which it would not have otherwise done).

Can nerve cells reproduce and regenerate in the human body?
Nerve cells, also known as neurons, generally do not reproduce or regenerate in the human body. Once they are damaged or lost, they are not easily replaced. This is why injuries to the nervous system can have long-lasting effects.
