title: Return of function after spinal cord transection.
abstract: Many able investigators have shown electronic conduction across the transected spinal cords of a variety of animals. LW Freeman reported return of function in paralyzed extremities after spinal cord section and transection in rats, cats and dogs before Medline searches could be performed online. This summary of Freeman's reports will lead today's investigators to his publications methods and successes.
