The spinal cord is made up of 31 segments, this tutorial shows some anatomy, cross section and histology images of the segments in interactive way. Click and start learning now!
The spinal cord is defined as the part of the neural tube that extends from the medulla oblongata to the lumbar vertebrae. It consists of gray and white matter, with specific regions responsible for different types of neuronal functions. AI generated definition based on: Functional and Clinical ...
Fig. 1. Formation of the spinal cord and peripheral nervous system. (A) Schematic diagram illustrating the process of neurulation and onset of neural crest migration. (1) Initially, the ectoderm is open and flat. The neural plate thickens in comparison to the adjacent non-neural ectoderm. (2...
Next-generation humanised mouse models and single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNAseq) approaches enable in-depth studies into human immune cell biology. Here we used NSG-SGM3 mice engrafted with human umbilical cord haematopoietic stem cells to investigate ho
A spinal cord injury interrupts the communication between the brain and the region of the spinal cord that produces walking, leading to paralysis1,2. Here, we restored this communication with a digital bridge between the brain and spinal cord that enabled an individual with chronic tetraplegia to...
Comparison of shared proteins from the naïve and LPC of sedentary and exercising spinal cord proteome. (A) Venn diagram of enriched proteins in each of the 4 experimental groups after boxplot analysis. A total of 1624 proteins were not statistically enriched in any of the groups. 14 common...

[54]. In the dorsal spinal cord, with the existence of wide dynamic range (WDR) neurons, it had long been postulated that mechanical pain intensity might be encoded by the firing rates of WDR neurons [55,56]. However, characterization of other molecularly defined spinal neurons shows that ...
The pMN domain is a restricted domain in the ventral spinal cord, defined by the expression of the olig2 gene. Though it is known that the pMN progenitor cells can sequentially generate motor neurons and oligodendrocytes, the lineages of these progenitors are controversial and how their progeny ...
A2A agonists also have been found to reduce locomotor dysfunction following ischemia-reperfusion of traumatic injury to rabbit or pig spinal cord. This occurs at low doses that have no cardiovascular effects but that reduce spinal cord inflammation during reperfusion. Consistent with tissue protection ...
