Locomotor circuits in the mammalian spinal cord
Article Abstract:
The new advances in understanding the mammalian central pattern generators (CPGs) are discussed by focusing on addressing the overall network structure as well as the identification of CPG neurons. The analysis has indicated that the mammalian locomotor CPG is distributed along the spinal cord, with a rostral-caudal gradient in rhymogenic potential.

An Essential Role for Ectodomain Shedding in Mammalian Development
Article Abstract:
The importance of ectodomain shedding activity is not defined, although much research on the topic has yielded physiological information about the activity. The lack of the metalloproteinase-disintegrin, TACE, is known to produce skin anomalies in mammals.

Repairing the damaged spinal cord
Article Abstract:
The latest developments in repairing damaged spinal cords are discussed. A steroid called methylprednisolone has been found to preserve motor and sensory function if given at high doses within eight hours after spinal injury has occurred.
