Percentage of axons observed at the epicenter and caudal stump of SCI rats after therapeutic intervention. The percentage was obtained from the total number of axons observed at the same level in sham-operated rats. Animals treated with scar removal + INDP (SR + INDP) presented a significant increase in the total amount of serotoninergic (a) and catecholaminergic (b) fibers. *p < 0.05, versus all groups, One-way ANOVA followed by Tukey–Kramer post hoc. Each bar represents the mean ± SD of 5 rats. PBS-I PBS immunization, SR scar removal. c, d Microphotographs representative of each analyzed therapy group
