Plasticity and regeneration in the injured spinal cord after cell transplantation therapy.

abstract：:Motor control is defined as the process of restricting the output of the motor nervous system so that meaningful and coordinated behavior ensues. The high dimensionality of the computation underlying motor control is presented and a simplifying framework is outlined. Evidence that movements are performed non-continuou...
