Overview

Peripheral nerves are the bundles of nerve fibers that lie outside the brain and spinal cord and connect the central nervous system to the muscles, skin, organs, and limbs. They carry motor signals that drive movement, sensory signals conveying touch, temperature, and pain, and autonomic signals that regulate involuntary functions, and they are organized into fascicles wrapped by connective-tissue layers that protect and support the axons. Because of their length and distribution, peripheral nerves are vulnerable to injury and disease, including traumatic damage, compression, metabolic and infectious neuropathies, inflammatory and granulomatous disorders, and tumors of nerve sheaths. Their capacity for regeneration after injury, and the factors that promote or impede it, is central to tissue repair in the peripheral nervous system. Research relevant to this area examines peripheral neuropathy associated with HIV infection and antiretroviral therapy, soft-tissue tumors of nerve such as perineurioma, and the diagnostic challenges of neurosarcoidosis affecting nerves. Related work considers the healing of neuropathy associated with chronic wounds such as diabetic foot ulcers, and persistent pain syndromes involving nerve injury. Across these strands the topic spans the structure and function of peripheral nerves, the disorders that affect them, and the processes of nerve repair and regeneration. The field integrates neurology, pathology, and regenerative medicine to understand and address peripheral nerve injury and disease.
