The functional properties of synapses made by regenerated axons across spinal cord lesion sites

This study compares the functional properties of regenerated synapses below and above spinal cord lesion sites in lampreys to those in unlesioned animals, finding differences in synaptic vesicle numbers and release probability.

A mathematical model for storage and recovery of motor actions in the spinal cord

The paper proposes a mathematical model for how the spinal cord stores and retrieves motor programs through orthogonalization and normalization of descending inputs.
