Spinal cord injury (SCI) remains a severe condition with an extremely high disability rate.
The challenges of SCI repair include its complex pathological mechanisms and the …

Locomotion is an essential behaviour for the survival of all animals. The neural circuitry
underlying locomotion is therefore highly robust to a wide variety of perturbations, including …

Spinal injuries in many vertebrates can result in partial or complete loss of locomotor ability.
While mammals often experience permanent loss, some nonmammals, such as lampreys …

The central pattern generator (CPG) in anguilliform swimming has served as a model for
examining the neural basis of locomotion. This system has been particularly valuable for the …

Employing history of science methods, including analyses of the scientific literature, archival
documents, and interviews with scientists, this paper presents a history of lampreys in …

Following traumatic spinal cord injury, most mammalian species are unable to achieve
substantial neuronal regeneration and often experience loss of locomotor function. In …

While the anatomical properties of regenerated axons across spinal cord lesion sites have
been studied extensively, little is known of how the functional properties of regenerated …

Axon regeneration is critical for restoring neural function after spinal cord injury. This has
prompted a series of studies on the neural and functional recovery of lampreys after spinal …

We used high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods to quantify aspartate,
GABA, and glutamine levels in the spinal cord of larval sea lampreys following a complete …
