Voluntary wheel running preserves lumbar perineuronal nets, enhances motor functions and prevents hyperreflexia after spinal cord injury

چکیده

Perineuronal nets (PNN) are a promising candidate to harness neural plasticity since their activity-dependent modulation allows either stabilize the circuits or increase plasticity. Modulation of is basis rehabilitation strategies reduce maladaptive after spinal cord injuries (SCI). Hence, it important understand how PNN affected SCI and rehabilitation. Thus, this work aims describe functional changes thoracic in mice, followed by different therapies: enriched environment, voluntary wheel forced treadmill running. We found that contusion provoked thermal hyperalgesia, hyperreflexia locomotor impairment as measured plantar test, H wave recordings BMS score locomotion, respectively. In cord, reduced density around lumbar motoneurons. contrast, activity-based therapies increased motoneuron activity reversed decrease. The group showed full preservation which also correlated with better recovery. Furthermore, both running but finding was independent levels. brainstem sensory nuclei, did not modify whereas some them. results present study highlight impact on decreasing at caudal segments potential physical reverse disaggregation improve As modulating crucial for restoring damaged circuits, regulating an encouraging target outcome injury.

Neither environmental enrichment nor voluntary wheel running enhances recovery from incomplete spinal cord injury in rats.

Environmental enrichment and exercise may be neuroprotective or promote recovery after different forms of CNS injury. Here, we tested the possible effects of moderate environmental enrichment and voluntary exercise on the outcome of incomplete spinal cord injury in rats. We provided rats in standard cages with basic environmental enrichment (carton house, nesting material, tube, gnawing sticks)...

Autonomic Hyperreflexia after Spinal Cord Injury

The most important complication of spinal cord lesions above T6 level is the phenomenon of Autonomic Hyperreflexia (AH). Symptoms and signs of AH result from the predominant parasympathetic excitation above the level of injury, and sympathetic excitation below the level of injury. Various noxious and nonnoxious stimuli below the level of injury can thus trigger off a mass autonomic response. Th...

Dendritic spine dysgenesis contributes to hyperreflexia after spinal cord injury.

Hyperreflexia and spasticity are chronic complications in spinal cord injury (SCI), with limited options for safe and effective treatment. A central mechanism in spasticity is hyperexcitability of the spinal stretch reflex, which presents symptomatically as a velocity-dependent increase in tonic stretch reflexes and exaggerated tendon jerks. In this study we tested the hypothesis that dendritic...

Recruitment of spinal motor pools during voluntary movements versus stepping after human spinal cord injury.

We investigated the activation of lower limb motor pools by supraspinal and spinal networks after human spinal cord injury (SCI). We compared electromyographic (EMG) activity from six muscles during voluntarily attempted non-weight-bearing single-joint movements, multijoint movements approximating stepping in a supine position, and weight-bearing stepping on a treadmill with body weight support...

Chronic cervical spinal cord injury and autonomic hyperreflexia in rats.

Although it is well established that patients with cervical spinal cord injury are prone to acute, marked, hypertensive episodes, i.e., autonomic hyperreflexia, the specific mechanisms mediating this sometimes-fatal phenomenon are not completely understood. In this report, we describe the preparation and characterization of a rat model of chronic cervical spinal cord injury and autonomic hyperr...
