Reorganization of Somatosensory Cortex After Nerve and Spinal Cord Injury.
Somatotopic maps in the mature brain reorganize in response to deafferentation by peripheral nerve cut, amputations, or spinal lesions. Mechanisms underlying these changes may range from altered tonic inhibition and synaptic efficacy to neuronal sprouting. An understanding of these mechanisms could guide interventions that potentiate recovery from such injuries.
متن کاملThermostabilized chondroitinase ABC Promotes Neuroprotection after Contusion Spinal Cord Injury
Background: Chondroitinase ABC (cABC), due to its loosening impact on the extracellular matrix scaffold, has been used to enhance regeneration of injured axonal tracts after spinal cord injury (SCI). However, cABC thermal instability at physiological temperature has limited its clinical application. The disaccharide trehalose has been shown to increase the stability of cABC in body temperature....
متن کاملP 94: The Systemic Inflammation after Spinal Cord Injury
Spinal cord injury (SCI) actuate to complex cellular and molecular interactions within the central nervous system in a heave to repair the initial tissue damage. The pathophysiology of acute spinal cord injury (SCI) involves primary and secondary mechanisms. Neuroinflammation is an important secondary injury process in SCI. The local inflammatory microenvironment within the injured spinal cord ...
متن کاملOperant conditioning of a spinal reflex can improve locomotion after spinal cord injury in humans.
Operant conditioning protocols can modify the activity of specific spinal cord pathways and can thereby affect behaviors that use these pathways. To explore the therapeutic application of these protocols, we studied the impact of down-conditioning the soleus H-reflex in people with impaired locomotion caused by chronic incomplete spinal cord injury. After a baseline period in which soleus H-ref...
متن کاملChanges in afferent activity after spinal cord injury.
AIMS To summarize the changes that occur in the properties of bladder afferent neurons following spinal cord injury. METHODS Literature review of anatomical, immunohistochemical, and pharmacologic studies of normal and dysfunctional bladder afferent pathways. RESULTS Studies in animals indicate that the micturition reflex is mediated by a spinobulbospinal pathway passing through coordinatio...
