Functional recovery after lesion of a central pattern generator.

19 Oct 2009 In cases of neuronal injury when regeneration is restricted, functional recovery can occur through reorganization of the remaining neural circuitry. We found an example of such recovery in the central pattern generator (CPG) for the escape swim of ... Read more...

Transformation of nonfunctional spinal circuits into functional states after the loss of brain input.

18 Sep 2009 After complete spinal cord transections that removed all supraspinal inputs in adult rats, combinations of serotonergic agonists and epidural electrical stimulation were able to acutely transform spinal networks from nonfunctional to highly ... Read more...

Neuronal circuit remodeling in the contralateral cortical hemisphere during functional recovery from cerebral infarction.

10 Aug 2009 Recent advances in functional imaging of human brain activity in stroke patients, e.g., functional magnetic resonance imaging, have revealed that cortical hemisphere contralateral to the infarction plays an important role in the recovery process. ... Read more...
