Morphofunctional basis for recovery of locomotor movements in rats with completely crossed spinal cord.
Treadmill training of spinalized rats creates conditions for early appearance of rhythmic locomotor movements of the hind limbs. Recovery of the movements was paralleled by an appropriate structural organization of neurons in the anterior horns of the distal compartment of the spinal cord.
