An in vitro functionally mature mouse spinal cord preparation for the study of spinal motor networks.
An in vitro isolated whole spinal cord preparation has been developed in 'motor functionally mature' mice; that is mice of developmental maturity sufficient to weight-bear and walk. In balb/c mice this stage occurs at around postnatal day 10 (P10). Administration of strychnine elicited synchronous activity bilaterally in lumbar ventral roots. Rhythmic alternating locomotor-like activity could b...
متن کاملTissue PO2 and the effects of hypoxia on the generation of locomotor-like activity in the in vitro spinal cord of the neonatal mouse.
The neonatal mouse en bloc spinal cord-brainstem preparation used in combination with advances in mouse genomics provides a novel strategy for studying the spinal control of locomotion. How well the mouse en bloc preparation is oxygenated however, is unknown. This is an important consideration given that (a) other superfused mammalian en bloc preparations have anoxic cores and (b) hypoxia can h...
متن کاملEnabling techniques for in vitro studies on mammalian spinal locomotor mechanisms.
The neonatal rodent spinal cord maintained in vitro is a powerful model system to understand the central properties of spinal circuits generating mammalian locomotion. We describe three enabling approaches that incorporate afferent input and attached hindlimbs. (i) Sacral dorsal column stimulation recruits and strengthens ongoing locomotor-like activity, and implementation of a closed positive-...
متن کاملEffects of Valproic Acid, a Histone Deacetylase Inhibitor, on improvement of Locomotor Function in Rat Spinal Cord Injury Based on Epigenetic Science
Background: The primary phase of traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) starts by a complex local inflammatory reaction such as secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines from microglia and injured cells that substantially contribute to exacerbating pathogenic events in secondary phase. Valproic acid (VPA) is a histone deacetylase inhibitor. Acetylation of histones is critical to cellular inflammatory...
متن کاملMultilevel Analysis of Locomotion in Immature Preparations Suggests Innovative Strategies to Reactivate Stepping after Spinal Cord Injury.
Locomotion is one of the most complex motor behaviors. Locomotor patterns change during early life, reflecting development of numerous peripheral and hierarchically organized central structures. Among them, the spinal cord is of particular interest since it houses the central pattern generator (CPG) for locomotion. This main command center is capable of eliciting and coordinating complex series...
