Recovery of motoneuron and locomotor function after spinal cord injury depends on constitutive activity in 5-HT2C receptors
Muscle paralysis after spinal cord injury is partly caused by a loss of brainstem-derived
serotonin (5-HT), which normally maintains motoneuron excitability by regulating crucial …
