Motor cortex electrical stimulation augments sprouting of the corticospinal tract and promotes recovery of motor function

Frontiers in Integrative Neuroscience, 2014 • June 18, 2014

This review discusses how electrical stimulation of the motor cortex can augment sprouting of the corticospinal tract (CST) and promote recovery of motor function after injury. The authors' research d...

KEY FINDING: Electrical stimulation of the motor cortex or spared CST augments sprouting of CST axons, leading to partial reconstruction of the lost CST.
