Following spinal cord injury (SCI), the central nervous system undergoes significant
reconstruction. The dynamic change in the interaction of the brain-spinal cord axis as well as …

Results: Changes in neural function and brain connectivity have been shown to appear
even during the early stages of the chronic condition and to correlate with the degree of …

Background: Complete or incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI) results in varying degree of
motor, sensory and autonomic impairment. Long-lasting, often irreversible disability results …

Background Spinal cord injury (SCI) causes severe sequelae and significant social loss,
depending on the extent of the damage. Most previous studies have focused on the …

Abstract Despite 253,000 spinal cord injury (SCI) patients in the United States, little is known
about how SCI affects brain networks. Spinal MRI provides only structural information with …

Background Following spinal cord injury (SCI), disease processes spread gradually along
the spinal cord forming a spatial gradient with most pronounced changes located at the …

Aim: Structural connectivity in the reorganizing spinal cord after injury dictates functional
connectivity and hence the neurological outcome. As magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) …

The study of spontaneous fluctuations in the blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signal
has recently been extended from the brain to the spinal cord. Two ultra-high field functional …

Traumatic spinal cord injury is often disabling and recovery of function is limited. As a
consequence of damage, both spinal cord and brain undergo anatomical and functional …

Large-scale network analysis characterizes the brain as a complex network of nodes and
edges to evaluate functional connectivity patterns. The utility of graph-based techniques has …
