Multisite Hebbian Plasticity Restores Function in Humans with Spinal Cord Injury
OBJECTIVE: Spinal cord injury (SCI) damages synaptic connections between corticospinal axons and motoneurons of many muscles, resulting in devastating paralysis. We hypothesized that strengthening corticospinal-motoneuronal synapses at multiple spinal cord levels through Hebbian plasticity (i.e., "neurons that fire together, wire together") promotes recovery of leg and arm function. METHODS: Twenty participants with chronic SCI were randomly assigned to receive 20-sessions of Hebbian or sham…
