Neurogenic lower urinary tract dysfunction typically develops after spinal cord injury. We
investigated the time course and the anatomical changes in the spinal cord that may be …

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

Recovery of urinary tract function after spinal cord injury (SCI) is important in its own right
and may also serve as a model for studying mechanisms of functional recovery after injury in …

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 …

Lower urinary tract dysfunction is a serious burden for patients following spinal cord injury.
Patients are usually limited to treatment with urinary drainage catheters, which can lead to …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) severely disrupts bladder function. What mediates bladder
dysfunction after SCI is currently unknown. We investigated the role that primary afferent …

This study evaluated the time-course changes in bladder and external urinary sphincter
(EUS) activity and the expression of mechanosensitive channels in lumbosacral dorsal root …

Spinal cord injury (SCI) to the terminal segments of the spinal cord causes severe disruption
of the neural circuitry of the bladder, resulting in neurogenic underactive bladder (nUAB) …

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 …

Micturition is coordinated at the level of the spinal cord and the brainstem. Spinal cord injury
therefore directly interrupts spinal neuronal pathways to the brainstem and results in bladder …
