Descending motor circuitry required for NT-3 mediated locomotor recovery after spinal cord injury in mice

Neurotrophin-3 (NT-3) plays a key role in the growth, development, and function of the nervous system. Here the authors show that NT-3-induced propriospino-motoneuron circuit reorganization is critical for locomotor recovery in mice following spinal cord injury.
