Article Synopsis
- Recovery of neurologic function after spinal cord injury (SCI) occurs naturally over time in both humans and animals, with the study focused on upper limb somatosensory potentials (SSEPs) after cervical contusions.
- The research utilized male rats with C5-6 contusions and employed electrophysiological techniques to track the recovery of SSEPs over a period of days, noting significant changes suggesting remyelination.
- Findings indicated that despite damage to the dorsal column, primary afferent terminals remained intact in the cuneate nuclei, supporting the idea that these structures play a crucial role in restoring sensory function post-injury.
