Study shows that edonerpic maleate accelerates recovery of grasping movements after a spinal cord injury (SCI) (IMAGE)
Caption
Researchers from Japan have recently discovered edonerpic maleate, a novel oral drug that enhances the ability to perform grasping movements, indicating accelerated motor recovery in non-human primates with partial cervical SCI. Notably, edonerpic maleate promotes neural plasticity in the motor cortex, supporting the reorganization of brain networks involved in fine motor skills, which aids in the restoration of hand movement after SCI.
