Despite significant strides promoting axon regeneration after spinal cord injury (SCI), meaningful functional recovery remains elusive. Using a combination of approaches, Squair et al.¹ elegantly demonstrate that axons damaged after SCI must be reconnected with their natural targets to recover lost neurological functions.

分开又回来：重建的神经元连接恢复瘫痪后的行走能力

尽管在促进脊髓损伤（SCI）后轴突再生方面取得了重大进展，但有意义的功能恢复仍然难以实现。Squair 等人结合使用多种方法。^{图 1}优雅地证明了 SCI 后受损的轴突必须与其自然目标重新连接，以恢复失去的神经功能。
