چکیده

Introduction Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a debilitating condition that disrupts the communication between brain and spinal cord. Several studies have sought to determine how revive dormant circuits caudal lesion restore movements in paralyzed patients. So far, recovery levels human patients been modest at best. In contrast, animal models of SCI exhibit more lost function. Previous work from our lab has identified dI3 interneurons as neuron population central locomotor function spinalized mice. We seek changes circuitry motoneurons following adult Methods After complete transection T9-T11 level transgenic Isl1:YFP mice subsequent treadmill training various time points surgery, we examined three key involving motoneurons: (1) Sensory inputs proprioceptive cutaneous afferents, (2) Presynaptic inhibition sensory inputs, (3) Central excitatory glutamatergic synapses neurons onto INs motoneurons. Furthermore, possible role on synaptic connectivity Results Our data suggests VGLUT1 + decrease transiently or only later stages after injury, whereas remain same for injury. Levels VGLUT2 MNs may show transient increases but fall below seen sham-operated period time. presynaptic can rise shortly SCI, those do not persist. However, never fell observed For some studied, were higher cord-injured animals received training, these points. Discussion These results suggest remodeling previously implicated

Changes in motoneuron properties and synaptic inputs related to step training after spinal cord transection in rats.

Although recovery from spinal cord injury is generally meager, evidence suggests that step training can improve stepping performance, particularly after neonatal spinal injury. The location and nature of the changes in neural substrates underlying the behavioral improvements are not well understood. We examined the kinematics of stepping performance and cellular and synaptic electrophysiologica...

Sarcomere number adaptation after retinaculum transection in adult mice.

Skeletal muscle has been shown to adjust serial sarcomere number in response to chronic static length changes. However, the adaptive responses to alterations in the dynamic environment are less well defined. The adaptations of the adult mouse tibialis anterior (TA) muscle to altered length and excursion were investigated by surgical transection of the flexor retinaculum. TA moment arm and muscl...

Plasticity of spinal cord reflexes after a complete transection in adult rats: relationship to stepping ability.

Changes in epidurally induced (S1) spinal cord reflexes were studied as a function of the level of restoration of stepping ability after spinal cord transection (ST). Three types of responses were observed. The early response (ER) had a latency of 2.5 to 3 ms and resulted from direct stimulation of motor fibers or motoneurons. The middle response (MR) had a latency of 5 to 7 ms and was monosyna...
