How can nerves be reconnected, but not repaired?

It's like a wire. You can kinda *splice* the nerves back together, but you can't run new wire to places where the old stuff died.

But, you say, nerves are so complex! How do they put them back together exactly right?

They actually don't. The brain just re-learns what the input means.
