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.

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

Nassim Stegamat, Rupert D. Smit, Jacquelynn Rajavong…·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.
