Good recovery of motor function following severe damage to the human nervous system, primarily the central nervous system, is difficult to achieve. there may be a number of reasons why the regenerative response to injury would not lead to functional recovery, and a variety of methodologies have… More

This proposal will test the feasibility of a device being devloped at american biointerface corporation to facilitate regeneration in the severly damaged mammalian nervous system. selected electrophysiological, biochemical, morphometric and behavioral parameters will be assessed in the injured rat… More

Previous studies have suggested that applied electric fieldscan efficaciously facilitate the functional outcome of cns injury in rodents. whether the effects of electric fields involve a regenerative responses in the cns can only be answered by using a model system that provides a definite source of… More
