Congratulations Dr. Bing Chen from @AbilityLab @NUPTHMS @HinesVAH This paper highlights the need of using combinatorial approaches to accelerate recovery following spinal cord injury!
In an RCT, Chen et al. obtain evidence that the potassium blocker 4-AP may potentiate and accelerate the effects of Hebbian stimulation on motor recovery in individuals with chronic spinal cord injury. https://t.co/uPLOvnixfy
