The induction of large-scale plasticity in the adult brain should be key for recovery from severe damage of the central nervous system. Here, drastic motor recovery was observed after subhemisection spinal cord injury in macaques that received intensive training and cortical electrical stimulation. During recovery, movement-related activity increased in ipsilesional sensorimotor areas and functional connectivity from ipsilesional to contralesional areas was strengthened. Electrical stimulation applied widely across bilateral sensorimotor areas induced muscle twitches in affected and intact forelimbs. The interhemispheric inhibition observed before injury was switched to facilitation. Furthermore, massive re-routing occurred in corticospinal axons from the contralesional motor cortex. Such global disinhibition and massive plasticity would open the workspace for the reorganization of motor networks to recruit novel areas for recovery. One Sentence SummaryGlobal disinhibition and corticospinal plasticity for drastic recovery after spinal cord injury in macaque monkeys.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
