Abstract

Electrical stimulation promotes the speed and accuracy of motor axonal regeneration. The positive effects of stimulation are mediated at the cell body. Here we characterize the effect of electrical stimulation on motoneuronal expression of BDNF and its receptor, trkB, two genes whose expression leve...
