Spinal Cord Electrophysiology

چکیده
The neonatal mouse spinal cord is a model for studying the development of neural circuitries and locomotor movement. We demonstrate the spinal cord dissection and preparation of recording bath artificial cerebrospinal fluid used for locomotor studies. Once dissected, the spinal cord ventral nerve roots can be attached to a recording electrode to record the electrophysiologic signals of the central pattern generating circuitry within the lumbar cord.

[Relationship between spinal function and the severity of spinal cord injury by needle puncture].
OBJECTIVE To observe the changes in spinal cord pathophysiology, motor function and electrophysiology after spinal cord injuries induced by punctures with different needles, and explore a new means for studying spinal neurotoxicity of local anesthetics. METHODS A total of 144 SD rats were randomly allocated into the sham-operated group (n=36) and 3 spinal cord injury groups (n=36) with the L4...
متن کاملSpinal cord stimulation for refractory angina in patients implanted with cardioverter defibrillators: five case reports.
Patients implanted with a cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) who are suffering from refractory angina pectoris could benefit from spinal cord stimulation (SCS) due to the well-documented pain relieving effect. However, the combined treatment remains controversial. The aim of the study is to report successful long-term treatment with SCS in five patients implanted with cardioverter defibrillators....
متن کاملSpinal cord stimulation affects T-wave alternans in patients with ischaemic cardiomyopathy: a pilot study.
AIMS An antiarrhythmic effect of spinal cord stimulation (SCS) has been recognized in an animal model. The actual mechanism is still mainly unknown. An adrenergic output reduction has been advocated as the main mechanism, although a modulation effect on the arrhythmic substrate has not yet been investigated. We studied T-wave alternans (TWA) modifications to test the hypothesis that SCS affects...
متن کاملBursting deep dorsal horn neurons: the pharmacological target for the antispastic effects of zolmitriptan?
In a recent publication, Thaweerattanasinp et al. (J Neurophysiol 116: 1644-1653, 2016) investigated spinal cord injury and firing properties of deep dorsal horn neurons during NMDA or zolmitriptan application by employing electrophysiology in an in vitro spinal cord preparation. Deep dorsal horn neurons were classified into bursting, simple, or tonic firing groups,with bursting neurons showing...
متن کاملX-ray therapy promotes structural regeneration after spinal cord injury in a rat model
OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the therapeutic effects and mechanisms of x-ray treatment on rats following spinal cord injury (SCI). METHODS Forty-six female Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to spinal cord injury using the modified Allen weight-drop method. The animals were randomly divided into six groups. Two of the animal groups were irradiated with 10 Gy at the lesion site; an...
