Can axons regrow in CNS? Yes, but their path is blocked by CNS Glial Cells. CNS Glial cells (Oligodendrocytes) form scar tissue. Pathway is blocked by scar tissue. scar

CNS Solutions Block scar tissue from forming. Schwann cell bridges (Lars Olson). Spinal motor pathways cut in rats. Loss control of hind limbs.

Other CNS Solutions Nerve growth factors. Stem cell implants. Quick response to spinal cord injury. “Golden Hour” = first hour after injury. Prevent further damage.

Rapid Response to Injury Steroids to reduce swelling. Provide support. Cord usually not severed. Relieve pressure. Stabilize vertebrae.

Recovery from injury Drugs to help remaining neurons function better. Retrain body to use back-up systems. Functional Electrical Stimulation (FES): a computer assisted movement system

Hand Grasp in Operation

Spinal Cord Outcomes 12,000 new cases a year Most young men. 90% survive accident. Lifetime disability Greater hope for recovery.
