One of our most commonly asked questions about MRI is if there is any radiation. MRI works differently than a CT or X-Ray because it uses a powerful magnet to take pictures so there is no need for radiation! Watch the video for more info https://t.co/2LvzGZ1Ckw

Spinal cord injury in adult mice prompts neurotransmitter switching of excitatory interneurons to an inhibitory phenotype, promoting inhibition at synapses onto motor neurons; this doesn't occur in injured neonates, so they can recover motor function
