GABA identified as key blocker of neural repair in spinal cord injury
Adrian Bogdan
Institute for Basic Science Sep 10 2025 Spinal cord injuries caused by external trauma, such as traffic accidents or falls, often lead to the permanent loss of motor and sensory functions. This is because the spinal cord-the central pathway connecting the brain and the rest of the body-harbors a "brake" mechanism that halts repair. For the first time, the molecular mechanism behind this braking system has been revealed. A research team led by Director C. Justin LEE of the Center for Cognition
