D. (2010)

"We will then assess whether regeneration of corticospinal nerve fibers will lead to functional recovery and restored movement in animal models." ❋ Unknown (2009)

The UC San Diego team achieved corticospinal regeneration by genetically engineering the injured neurons to over-express receptors for a type of nervous system growth factor called brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF). ❋ Unknown (2009)

Although functional recovery in the animals was not assessed, the new study shows for the first time that regeneration of the corticospinal system - which normally does not respond to treatment - can be achieved in a brain lesion site. ❋ Unknown (2009)

He added that, without regeneration of corticospinal axons, it is questionable whether functional recovery would be attainable in humans. ❋ Unknown (2009)

In spinal cord injuries, the axons that run along the corticospinal tract are severed so that the lower motor neurons, below the site of injury, are disconnected from the brain. ❋ Unknown (2009)

"Previous spinal cord injury studies have shown regeneration of other nerve fiber systems that contribute to movement, but have not convincingly shown regeneration of the corticospinal system," said Tuszynski, theorizing this was due to a limited intrinsic ability of corticospinal neurons to turn on genes that allow regeneration after injury. ❋ Unknown (2009)
