The aim of the present study was to answer the following question: in the re-control process, do all spinal cord nerves below the lesion site participate, or do the spinal cord nerves of only one vertebral segment have a role in repair %K Spinal cord injuries %K Transection %K Electrophysiology %K Repair %K Function recovery %K Hindlimbs %K Nerve regeneration %U https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5228130/
