Activity-based therapies for repair of the corticospinal system injured during development

Activity-based therapies for repair of the corticospinal system injured during development

This review presents the mechanistic underpinnings of corticospinal tract (CST) development, derived from animal models, and applies what has been learned to inform neural activity-based strategies for CST repair. We first discuss that, in normal development, early bilateral CST projections are latt...
