White matter in spinal cord vital for nerve recovery, study suggests potential treatments through electromagnetic stimuli or drugs.

Vanderbilt University study reveals white matter in spinal cord is vital for nerve recovery after spinal cord injuries. White matter signals in response to stimuli are as robust as those from grey matter, suggesting potential treatments through electromagnetic stimuli or drugs. Research could also lead to better understanding of diseases like multiple sclerosis and evaluating therapeutic interventions.
