The process by which outgrowths develop from the axons of intact undamaged neurons as a result of injury to an axon. The collateral sprouts typically appear from undamaged axons in a tissue which has had part of its nerve supply removed, and they can often innervate successfully any cells that have lost some or all of their original synaptic input. The process resulting in reformation of a growth cone by the tip of an injured axon, or in collateral sprouting of the axon. Collateral sprouting is the process by which outgrowths develop from the shafts of existing axons. Generation of a long process of a neuron, that carries efferent (outgoing) action potentials from the cell body towards target cells. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of collateral sprouting. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of collateral sprouting. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of collateral sprouting. The growth of a cell, where growth contributes to the progression of the cell over time from one condition to another. The increase in size or mass of an entire organism, a part of an organism or a cell, where the increase in size or mass has the specific outcome of the progression of the organism over time from one condition to another. The process by which the structures of a neuron are generated and organized. This process occurs while the initially relatively unspecialized cell is acquiring the specialized features of a neuron. The process by which the anatomical structures of a neuron projection are generated and organized. Morphogenesis pertains to the creation of form. A neuron projection is any process extending from a neural cell, such as axons or dendrites. The process by which outgrowths develop from the axons of intact undamaged neurons. The process by which outgrowths develop from the shafts of existing axons. The process by which a cell irreversibly increases in size over time by accretion and biosynthetic production of matter similar to that already present. The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the cell over time, from its formation to the mature structure. Cell development does not include the steps involved in committing a cell to a specific fate.
