Principles of motor organization of the monkey cervical spinal cord.

چکیده
The organization of spinal cord motor columns innervating 18 selected macaque forelimb muscles was studied with the technique of retrograde transport of horseradish peroxidase. The reliability of the method was evaluated in the cat hindlimb. Motor columns innervating forearm muscles with similar actions on the hand appear to overlap in the anterior horn. Extensor motoneurons are generally positioned ventral and/or lateral to flexor motoneurons. Motoneurons controlling hand movement are located primarily in segments C8 and T1.

Incidence of Spinal Cord Injury in Traumatic Patients Admitted to a Trauma Referral Center in Guilan
Background & Aim: Patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) impose a heavy burden on health care system. Awareness on prevalence and incidence of SCI is important because this would show the necessity of prevention. This study aimed to investigate the epidemiology and types of traumatic spinal cord injuries in a trauma referral center in Guilan. Methods & Materials/Patients: This is a descripti...
متن کاملSpatiotemporal Organization of Neuronal Activity in the Cervical Cord of Behaving Primates
Spinal neurons operate as a processing link that integrates descending and peripheral information and in turn, generates a specific yet complex muscle command. The functional organization of spinal circuitry during normal motor behavior dictates the way in which this translation process is achieved. Nonetheless, little is known about this organization during normal motor behavior. We examined t...
