Although spontaneous regeneration of lesioned fibres is limited in the adult central nervous
system, many people that suffer from incomplete spinal cord injuries show significant …

Many individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI) do not regain their ability to walk, even though
it is a primary goal of rehabilitation. Mammals with thoracic spinal cord transection can …

▪ Abstract Motor function is severely disrupted following spinal cord injury (SCI). The spinal
circuitry, however, exhibits a great degree of automaticity and plasticity after an injury …

The mainstream rationale for equating “brain death”(BD) with death is that the brain confers
integrative unity upon the body, transforming it from a mere collection of organs and tissues …

The prognosis for recovery of motor function in motor complete spinal cord injured (SCI)
individuals is poor. Our research team has demonstrated that lumbosacral spinal cord …
