Spinal cord injury: Visualizing plasticity and repair in the injured CNS

David W Cadotte et al. Nat Rev Neurol. 2013 Oct.

Abstract

The heterogeneity of traumatic spinal cord injury necessitates large clinical trials to differentiate natural improvements from enhanced recovery due to therapeutic intervention. Recent development of an imaging biomarker to visualize changes in the corticospinal motor system could offer the opportunity to directly visualize anatomical evidence of repair, regeneration and plasticity.
