Until recently, physicians recommended post-acute therapy for stroke patients on the basis of intuition rather than evidence. Experiments in animals point most strongly toward the influence of neurotransmitter systems on functional recovery after focal brain injury. The effect is dose dependent, and the...

Spinal cord injury (SCI) has a global incidence of 10.4 to 83.0 cases per million per year, with most cases resulting in incomplete injury and permanent disability.1,2 After the initial SCI, a complex pathophysiological process involving multiple molecular mechanisms ensues, which causes further dam...
