Editorial: Propriospinal Neurons: Essential Elements in Locomotion, Autonomic Function and Plasticity After Spinal Cord Injury and Disease

[...]the complex integration capabilities of all PSN subpopulations were recognized in early research stages. Laliberte et al. provide a broad-spectrum analysis of evidence that PSNs are not only acting as essential elements of locomotor control circuits in the intact spinal cord, but also play a significant role after spinal cord injury.
