After transection of the root the neural-like cells probably die because the fluorescence of Fura 2 AM was reduced significantly within a short period of time (within 10-15 min). The function of neuronal cells found in the spinal cord remains unclear. What is their role in the conduction ...
Spinal Cord, Nerve Roots, and Muscles The lastneural circuitsto consider are the spinal cord, nerve roots, and muscles. However, before distinguishing between a root and peripheralnerve lesionit is important to discriminate anupper motor neuronfrom alower motor neuron lesion. As discussed earlier,...
those parts of the globus pallidus located inferior to the anterior commissure; includes portions of the substantia innominata; along with the ventral striatum is believed to function in motor activities with strong motivational or emotional constructs. ...
The theoretical basis underlying the use of this procedure was the law of separation of function of the spinal roots that implies, among other things, that sensory fibers are located in the dorsal root and motor fibers are located in the ventral roots. On this basis, it should be possible ...
Interestingly, the procedure also seems to have an attenuating effect on the pain that develops in cases with a combined dorsal root avulsion. Lastly, we conclude that the cut lesion in the ventral part of the spinal cord, followed by axon regeneration in motoneurons may serve as a model ...

Electrical stimulation of the cervical spinal cord is gaining traction as a therapy following spinal cord injury; however, it is difficult to target the cervical motor region in a rodent using a non-penetrating stimulus compared with direct placement of intraspinal wire electrodes. Penetrating wire el...
In the contralateral lateral funiculus, they form the ventral spinocerebellar tract23,31 on the surface of the lateral funiculus ventral to the dorsal spinocerebellar tract. The ventral spinocerebellar tract courses cranially through the entire spinal cord. It continues through the medulla on its...
