Background In patients with chronic spinal cord injury, imaging of the spinal cord and brain
above the level of the lesion provides evidence of neural degeneration; however, the spatial …

Traumatic spinal cord injury occurs when an external physical impact damages the spinal
cord and leads to permanent neurological dysfunction and disability, and it is associated …

Objective To reveal the immediate extent of trauma-induced neurodegenerative changes
rostral to the level of lesion and determine the predictive clinical value of quantitative MRI …

Objective To quantify atrophy, demyelination, and iron accumulation over 2 years following
acute spinal cord injury and to identify MRI predictors of clinical outcomes and determine …

Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to immediate neuronal and axonal damage at the
focal injury site and triggers secondary pathologic series of events resulting in sensorimotor …

Objective In patients with subacute spinal cord injury (SCI), the motor system undergoes
progressive structural changes rostral to the lesion, which are associated with motor …

Abstract Spinal Cord Injuries (SCI) lead to alterations in brain structure and brain function by
direct effects of nerve damage, by secondary mechanisms, and also by longer term injury …

This study aimed to explore structural and functional reorganization of the brain in the early
stages of spinal cord injury (SCI) and identify brain areas that contribute to motor recovery …

Recovery of function following lesions in the nervous system requires adaptive changes in
surviving circuitries. Here we investigate whether changes in cerebral activation are …

Pathophysiological changes in the spinal cord white and grey matter resulting from injury
can be observed with MRI techniques. These techniques provide sensitive markers of …
