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

Rupert D. Smit, Thomas J. Campion III, Ajay Pal…·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…·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.
