Abstract
The invention discloses methods and compositions useful for facilitating neuronal regeneration and functional recovery in neurodegenerative diseases. The methods and compositions utilize ligands for the sigma receptor, wherein the ligand is preferably AGY-94806, or salts, or solvates thereof. These molecules can be delivered alone or in combination with agents which treat or prevent neurodegenerative diseases such as those caused by multiple sclerosis. In other methods, the sigma receptor ligands are administered after MS to facilitate functional recovery. The administration of the sigma receptor ligands causes faster functional recovery.
