Awakening dormant neurons long after spinal cord injury

Neurons lack the ability to regenerate after injury. A new Preregistered Article in PLOS Biology finds that pharmacologically boosting regenerative capacity long after injury in mice, together with an enriched animal environment, promotes axonal and synaptic plasticity. Neurons lack the ability to r...
