What is it about?
Peripheral nerves are mixed in their polarity. The work was attempting to see whether de-afferente and de-efferented nerves differ in their capacity to regenerate when anastomosed.

Why is it important?
It is about various sensory and motor "electrical" potentials and impulses within peripheral nerves caninfluence regeneration of peripheral nerve axons.
Perspectives
Better tracing and electrophysiological tools can confirm/clarify the role of polarity in regeneration.
