One reason that many central nervous system injuries, including those arising from traumatic
brain injury, spinal cord injury, and stroke, have limited recovery of function is that neurons …

More than two‐thirds of patients suffering from stress‐related disorders are women but over
two‐thirds of suicide completers are men. These are just some examples of the many sex …

Alternative splicing (AS) is one crucial step of gene expression that must be tightly regulated
during neurodevelopment. However, the precise timing of developmental splicing switches …

Sensory neurons in the PNS demonstrate substantial capacity for regeneration following
injury. Recent studies have identified changes in the transcriptome of sensory neurons …

After complete transection of the thoracic spinal segment, neonatal rats exhibit spontaneous
locomotor recovery of hindlimbs, but this recovery is not found in adult rats after similar …

Transcriptional events leading to outgrowth of neuronal axons have been intensively
studied, but the role of translational regulation in this process is not well understood. Here …

OBJECTIVE Rapid-stretch nerve injuries are among the most devastating lesions to
peripheral nerves, yielding unsatisfactory functional outcomes. No animal model has yet …

In an effort to explore new, noninvasive treatment options for spinal cord injuries (SCI), this
study investigated the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) for SCI rat models. SCI was …

OBJECTIVE Traditional animal models of nerve injury use controlled crush or transection
injuries to investigate nerve regeneration; however, a more common and challenging …

After injury, the adult mammalian central nervous system (CNS) lacks long-distance axon
regeneration. This review discusses the similarities and differences of sensory and motor …
