Connectivity of regenerating axons following spinal cord injury [ 2010 - 2015 ]

Research Grant

Researchers: Prof Mary Galea (Principal investigator) ,  Prof Robert Callister ,  Prof Robin Callister

Brief description Our objective is to thoroughly investigate the connections made by regenerating nerve fibres in mice which are treated with specific compounds to inhibit scarring as well as with active exercise following spinal cord injury. This will provide evidence of the potential of these compounds as a therapeutic intervention. Understanding how the nervous system rewires following exercise intervention will provide insights as to how new connections can be shaped to ensure optimal recovery of function.
