The contribution of prolonged motoneuron axotomy to the poor functional recovery after
delayed nerve repair was determined by means of a nerve cross-anastomosis paradigm in …

The withdrawal reflex pathways to hindlimb muscles have an elaborate spatial organization
in the rat. In short, the distribution of sensitivity within the cutaneous receptive field of a …

Abstract Knowledge of the intraneural topography of peripheral nerves may help to improve
nerve repair after injuries and the selectivity of neural interfaces. We studied the fascicular …

Key points Presynaptic inhibition is modulated by supraspinal centres and primary afferents
in order to filter sensory information, adjust spinal reflex excitability, and ensure smooth …

The monosynaptic motoneuron response to stimulation of Ia afferents is known to be altered
by spinal cord injury (SCI). Although the Hoffman (H)-reflex is a tool that is often used to …

Hyperreflexia and spasticity are chronic complications in spinal cord injury (SCI), with limited
options for safe and effective treatment. A central mechanism in spasticity is hyperexcitability …

Hyperreflexia associated with spasticity is a prevalent neurological condition characterized
by excessive and exaggerated reflex responses to stimuli. Hyperreflexia can be caused by …

This study investigated the morphological features of the soleus motoneuron pool in rats
with chronic (4 months), midthoracic (T8) contusions of moderate severity. Motoneurons …

Spasticity is a hyperexcitability disorder that adversely impacts functional recovery and
rehabilitative efforts after spinal cord injury (SCI). The loss of evoked rate-dependent …

Spasticity is an important problem that complicates daily living in many individuals with
spinal cord injury (SCI). While previous studies in human and animals revealed significant …
