Movements after the clinical diagnosis of brain death: supraspinal motor responses or spinal reflexes
In a recent issue of Critical Care, Wu and Orizaola Balaguer [1] hypothesized that nociceptive head turning after brain death (BD) is a spinal reflex. We argue that it can be a supraspinal response, which would invalidate a diagnosis of BD. The sternocleidomastoid and trapezius are innervated by the spinal nucleus of the accessory nerve extending from the lower medulla to the ventral horn of th...
متن کاملRunning Head: Spinal and Supraspinal Predictors of RTD Spinal and Supraspinal Motor Control Predictors of Rate of Torque Development
During explosive movements and potentially injurious situations the ability to rapidly generate torque is critical. Previous research has suggested different phases of rate of torque development (RTD) are differentiately controlled. However, the extent to which supraspinal and spinal mechanisms predict RTD at different time intervals is unknown. RTD of the plantarflexors across various phases o...
متن کاملAltered respiratory motor drive after spinal cord injury: supraspinal and bilateral effects of a unilateral lesion.
Because some bulbospinal respiratory premotor neurons have bilateral projections to the phrenic nuclei, we investigated whether changes in contralateral phrenic motoneuron function would occur after unilateral axotomy via C(2) hemisection. Phrenic neurograms were recorded under baseline conditions and during hypercapnic and hypoxic challenge in C(2) hemisected, normal, and sham-operated rats at...
متن کاملThe fate of neurons after traumatic spinal cord injury in rats: A systematic review
Objective(s): To reach an evidence-based knowledge in the context of the temporal-spatial pattern of neuronal death and find appropriate time of intervention in order to preserve spared neurons and promote regeneration after traumatic spinal cord injury (TSCI). Materials and Methods: The study design was based on Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA)-guided...
