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 …

In Parkinson's disease, the progressive neurodegeneration of nigrostriatal dopaminergic
neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta (SNc) is associated with classic motor …

Anatomical plasticity and functional recovery after lesions of the rodent corticospinal tract
(CST) decrease postnatally in parallel with myelin formation. Myelin-associated neurite …

Central nervous system (CNS) injuries are particularly traumatic, owing to the limited
capabilities of the mammalian CNS for repair. Nevertheless, functional recovery is observed …

Spinal cord injury affects more than 2.5 million people worldwide and can lead to paraplegia
and quadriplegia. Anatomical discontinuity in the spinal cord results in disruption of the …

Anatomical plasticity such as fibre growth and the formation of new connections in the cortex
and spinal cord is one known mechanism mediating functional recovery after damage to the …

The distribution of two calcium‐binding proteins, parvalbumin (PV) and calbindin‐D 28K
(CaBP), was studied by the peroxidase‐anti‐peroxidase immunohistochemical method at …

Retrograde transneuronal tracing with rabies virus from the left bulbospongiosus muscle
(BS) was used to identify the neural circuits underlying its peripheral and central activation …

The human spinal cord can be described using a range of nomenclatures with each
providing insight into its structure and function. Here we have comprehensively reviewed the …

Descending systems from the brain exert a major influence over sensory and motor
processes within the spinal cord. Although it is known that many descending systems have …
