The issue of postnatal neurogenesis has gained great importance over the last few years and the recent amazing scientific advancements, changing our viewpoint on the long-lasting “no new neurons” dogma, have opened promising new perspectives on the treatment of the damaged nervoussystem. While most of the researchers have focused on the central nervoussystem, the peripheralnervoussystem has received little attention so far with respect to postnatalhistogenesis. To attract scientific attention on this issue, the present article was written with the aim of reviewing the body of literature on postnatalhistogenesis in the various districts of the peripheralnervoussystem, from the historical roots to the most recent reports.

Abstract
The issue of postnatal neurogenesis has gained great importance over the last few years and the recent amazing scientific advancements, changing our viewpoint on the long-lasting “no new neurons” dogma, have opened promising new perspectives on the treatment of the damaged nervoussystem. While most of the researchers have focused on the central nervoussystem, the peripheralnervoussystem has received little attention so far with respect to postnatalhistogenesis. To attract scientific attention on this issue, the present article was written with the aim of reviewing the body of literature on postnatalhistogenesis in the various districts of the peripheralnervoussystem, from the historical roots to the most recent reports.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
