Aims To summarize the changes that occur in the properties of bladder afferent neurons
following spinal cord injury. Methods Literature review of anatomical, immunohistochemical …

The lower urinary tract has two main functions, the storage and periodic expulsion of urine,
which are regulated by a complex neural control system in the brain and lumbosacral spinal …

Lower urinary tract dysfunction is a common problem in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI).
Since the coordination of the urinary bladder and urethra is controlled by the complex …

The lower urinary tract has two main functions, storage and periodic expulsion of urine, that
are regulated by a complex neural control system in the brain and lumbosacral spinal cord …

Abstract Purpose: A “skin-CNS-bladder” reflex pathway for inducing micturition after spinal
cord injury has been established in cat. This reflex pathway which is basically a somatic …

The storage and elimination of urine requires the coordination of activity between the
autonomic nervous system (thoracolumbar sympathetic and sacral parasympathetic …

Transection of the spinal cord that interrupts the spinobulbospinal micturition reflex pathway,
abolishes voluntary voiding and initially produces an areflexic bladder with complete urinary …

Micturition in cats and rats with an intact neuraxis is dependent upon a spinobulbospinal
reflex activated by Aδ bladder afferents. This report describes changes in micturition reflexes …

Spinal cord injury has a profound impact on the storage and voiding functions of the urinary
bladder. Loss of autonomic and somatic control mechanisms leads to hypo-or hyperactivity …

Purpose: This review summarizes possible spinal reflexes involved in micturition control as
well as current treatments for lower urinary tract dysfunction after spinal cord injury (SCI) in …
