The thick, whitish cord of nerve tissue that extends from the medulla oblongata down through the spinal column and from which the spinal nerves branch off to various parts of the body. American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fifth Edition. Copyright © 2016 by Houghton Mifflin...
During development, there’s a disproportion between spinal cord growth and vertebral column growth. The spinal cord finishes growing at the age of 4, while the vertebral column finishes growing at age 14-18. This is the reason why, in adults, the spinal cord occupies only the upper two ...
The mainstay of treatment for spinal tuberculosis is to eradicate the infection, prevent or treat neurological deficits, correct kyphosis deformities, and finally to achieve normal sagittal contours of the spinal column, unrestricted motility, and full activities of daily living as soon as possible. ...
We firstly (re-)identified the SCI-specific genes that were either up- or down-regulated in response to SCI within the reference dataset (coloured parts of Venn Diagram; Fig. 6B). In doing so, we confirmed that 1025 genes were upregulated and 1071 genes downregulated following SCI compared ...

Position of the array with respect to the segmented vertebral column determined the insertion point of the array to be between L1 and T12 vertebra. During the surgery, we opened the access to the surface of the dura by small incisions and a T12/L1 flavectomy, placed the tip of the array...
The Dorsal Column-Medial Lemniscus System or The Posterior Columnis made up of laterally located fasciculus cuneatus and medially located fasciculus gracilis (seeDiagram.Central Connections of the Spinal Cord). They receive afferent impulses from C1 to T6 and from below T6, respectively. Thus the ...
judging from the close match in appearance. There is evidence from studies in cats (Dykes, 1983) that RA-I and SA classes of cutaneous afferents activate neurons in the central zones of thedorsal column nuclei, while SA, joint, and muscle receptor afferents relate to the rostral parts of th...
After spinal column exposure and appropriate beam placement, a photosensitizing dye (for example, rose Bengal) is administrated systemically. The resultant photochemical reaction leads to vascular stasis and congestion, edematous pale-staining white matter tracts and hemorrhagic necrosis of the central ...
