Nerve cells cannot regenerate Ever heard such a thesis? Well, people, who haven't studied this question completely, often use it - we don't do that😅 Yeah, the brain or spinal cord, once it has lost a cell, cannot recreate it anymore. Although there are studies aimed at proving otherwise. They study in depth the process of how people recover from strokes or regain sensation after spinal cord injuries. So, duh - the point is debatable. However, the nerve endings in the thickness of the skin are much more unequivocal. They are capable of recovery. After all, damage to the skin usually is not deep in its layers, and only the nerve fiber branches are damaged. And if the cell itself remains unharmed, it just needs to let in new branches👌🏻
