Spinal cord injury: harnessing spike timing to induce plastic change

Abstract

A recent study shows that a spike-timing-dependent plasticity protocol can potentiate corticospinal transmission to finger muscle motoneurons, in both volunteers and in patients with incomplete spinal injury. In patients, the protocol improved voluntary muscle output and performance on a peg-board test.
