Stimulation of corticospinal neurons by optogenetic cAMP inductions promotes motor recovery after spinal cord injury in female rats via raphespinal tract modulation.

After spinal cord injury (SCI), cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) levels drop in the spinal cord, cortex and brainstem, unlike in regenerating peripheral neurons. To address SCI recovery, we expressed photoactivatable adenylate cyclase (bPAC) in corticospinal neurons of female rats with dorsal h...
