The failure of injured axons to regenerate following spinal cord injury deprives brain
neurons of their normal sources of activation. These injuries also result in the reorganization …

Here we review mechanisms and molecules that necessitate protection and oppose axonal
growth in the injured spinal cord, representing not only a cast of villains but also a company …

The third edition of this monograph continues to have the goal of providing an overview of
current thought about the spinal cord mechanisms that are responsible for sensory …

Touch perception begins with activation of low-threshold mechanoreceptors (LTMRs) in the
periphery. LTMR terminals exhibit tremendous morphological heterogeneity that specifies …

Anti‐Nogo‐A antibody and chondroitinase ABC (Ch ABC) enzyme are two promising
treatments that promote functional recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI). Treatment with …

Although dexterity relies on the constant transmission of sensory information, unchecked
feedback can be disruptive. Yet how somatosensory feedback from the hands is regulated …

While there are several ways to quantify peripheral nerve regeneration; the true measure of
successful outcome is functional recovery. Functional tests are relatively easily conducted in …

Approximately 50% of human spinal cord injuries (SCI) are at the cervical level, resulting in
impairments in motor function of the upper extremity. Even modest recovery of upper …

Study design: Four-month longitudinal within-subject exercise training study. Objective:
Although body-weight supported treadmill training (BWSTT) has not shown promise as a …

Determining how and where proprioceptive information is represented in the rat ventral
posterolateral (VPL) is important in allowing us to further investigate how this sense is …
