There is abundant evidence that the amphibian cord when severed is capable of reestablishing anatomical and functional continuity. Regeneration occurs whether the cord be merely severed or a portion, either homoplastic or heteroplastic in origin, be introduced either in normal or reversed polarity.
We studied the properties of whole medial gastrocnemius (MG) and soleus muscles, and of 74 individual MG motor units in three cats with long-term complete low thoracic spinal transection (TS). All animals remained paraplegic and there was considerable atrophy of MG and soleus muscles. Motor units in
