Neuronal sprouting

Any process where neurite growth occurs

Neuronal sprouting is any process where neurite growth occurs, typically through modifications to synapses where a neuron outgrowths to establish connections to other neurons. It is both the growth of new branches or extensions from existing neurons in response to injury or disease. This process is a form of neuroplasticity, which allows the brain to rewire itself and adapt to changes in the environment. Neural sprouting is thought to play an important role in recovery from brain injury, where the brain compensates for lost function by forming new connections between neurons.
