Mature larval sea lampreys recover spontaneously from a complete spinal cord transection and the changes in neurotransmitter systems after spinal cord injury might be related to their amazing regenerative capabilities. The data presented here show the concentration of the aminoacidergic neurotransmitters GABA (and its precursor glutamine) and aspartate in the spinal cord of control (non-injured) and 2-, 4-, and 10-week post-lesion animals. Statistical analyses showed that GABA and aspartate levels significantly increase in the spinal cord four weeks after a complete spinal cord injury and that glutamine levels decrease 10 weeks after injury as compared to controls. These data might be of interest to those studying the role of neurotransmitters and neuromodulators in recovery from spinal cord injury in vertebrates.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/data6060054","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,24]],"date-time":"2021-05-24T12:38:01Z","timestamp":1621859881000},"page":"54","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Data on the Quantification of Aspartate, GABA and Glutamine Levels in the Spinal Cord of Larval Sea Lampreys after a Complete Spinal Cord Injury"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"6","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4691-8346","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Blanca","family":"Fern\u00e1ndez-L\u00f3pez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Functional Biology, CIBUS, Faculty of Biology, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, 15782 Santiago de Compostela, Spain"}]},{"given":"Natividad","family":"Pereiro","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ministry of Health, Paseo del Prado, 18, 28014 Madrid, Spain"}]},{"given":"Anunciaci\u00f3n","family":"Lafuente","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Toxicology, Sciences School, University of Vigo, Las Lagunas s\/n, 32004 Ourense, Spain"}]},{"given":"Mar\u00eda Celina","family":"Rodicio","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Functional Biology, CIBUS, Faculty of Biology, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, 15782 Santiago de Compostela, Spain"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7507-080X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ant\u00f3n","family":"Barreiro-Iglesias","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Functional Biology, CIBUS, Faculty of Biology, Universidade de Santiago de Compostela, 15782 Santiago de Compostela, Spain"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,5,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"174","DOI":"10.1086\/711365","article-title":"Recovery of Burrowing Behavior After Spinal Cord Injury in the Larval Sea Lamprey","volume":"239","author":"Katz","year":"2020","journal-title":"Biol.
