Chemogenetic excitation and play promote functional recovery in juvenile spinal cord injury

Rupert D. Smit, Thomas J. Campion III, Ajay Pal, Joshua D. Ross, Jacquelynn Rajavong, Huiling Ke, Gavin Thomas Koma, Ismail Safak, Zenub M. Abouzid, José Paz Amaya, Michel A. Lemay, Andrew J. Spence, George M. Smith

This study shows that excitatory chemogenetic stimulation during a juvenile window improves functional recovery after spinal cord injury in rats, while inhibition and control conditions show less recovery.

Kinematics-based assessment of reaching and grasping movements in LRN ablated animals identifies a role for the LRN in endpoint stabilization and reach timing.

Gavin Thomas Koma, Joshua D. Ross, Thomas J. Campion III, Jacquelynn Rajavong, Yuanchao Zhang, George M. Smith, Andrew Spence

This study examines the role of the lateral reticular nucleus (LRN) in skilled reaching and grasping by analyzing kinematic data from LRN-ablated rats, finding deficits in endpoint control and reach timing.

Chemogenetic Manipulation of the Subthalamic Nucleus-Substantia Nigra Pars Reticulata Pathway Promotes Recovery in HemiParkinsonian Rat Models

Nassim Stegamat, Rupert D. Smit, Jacquelynn Rajavong, Thomas J. Campion III, Sraavya M Pinjala, George M. Smith

This study shows that chemogenetic manipulation of the subthalamic nucleus-substantia nigra pars reticulata pathway reduces amphetamine-induced rotations in Parkinson's disease models.
