TL;DR: An important direction for ongoing research is the development of therapeutic strategies that enhance axonal regeneration, promote selective target reinnervation, but are also able to modulate central nervous system reorganization, amplifying those positive adaptive changes that help to improve functional recovery but also diminishing undesirable consequences.

TL;DR: The potentials and limits of the use of this interface to control robotic devices are presented and the open issues which have to be addressed for a chronic usability of this approach are presented.

TL;DR: Brief electrical stimulation applied after sciatic nerve injury promotes axonal regeneration over a long distance and reduces facilitation of spinal motor responses.

TL;DR: The fascicular pattern of motor fibers of the rat sciatic–tibial nerve is studied, with somatotopic organization of the sciatic nerve, with muscular fascicles maintaining the same relative position along the entire nerve.

TL;DR: Nociceptive responses depend on the type of injury, and the immunoreactivity pattern of afferent fibers at the spinal cord display changes less pronounced after partial than complete sciatic nerve injury.
