Abstract:Upper limb motor recovery is a priority for chronic SCI patients to improve functionality and quality of life. Treatment options available for acute SCI provide limited benefit to those with persistent motor symptoms years after injury, creating a need for interventions to target chronic motor damage.
Our therapeutic approach utilizes quipazine, a serotonergic agonist, as a chemical neuromodulator to induce plasticity of spared motor pathways in a rat model of chronic SCI. Therapy consisted of quipazine delive… Show more
