Cortico–reticulo–spinal circuit reorganization enables functional recovery after severe spinal cord contusion

Abstract: Severe spinal cord contusions interrupt nearly all brain projections to lumbar circuits producing leg movement. Failure of these projections to reorganize leads to permanent paralysis. Here we modeled these injuries in rodents. A severe contusion abolished all motor cortex … Continue reading →
