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 …

Background A recent meeting of international imaging experts sponsored by the
International Spinal Research Trust (ISRT) and the Wings for Life Foundation identified 5 …

Severe spinal cord contusions interrupt nearly all brain projections to lumbar circuits
producing leg movement. Failure of these projections to reorganize leads to permanent …

Imaging is integral in the diagnosis of canine intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) and in
differentiating subtypes of intervertebral disc herniation (IVDH). These include intervertebral …

A first-ever spinal cord imaging meeting was sponsored by the International Spinal
Research Trust and the Wings for Life Foundation with the aim of identifying the current state …

A spinal cord injury usually spares some components of the locomotor circuitry. Deep brain
stimulation (DBS) of the midbrain locomotor region and epidural electrical stimulation of the …

Experimental and clinical studies suggest that primate species exhibit greater recovery after
lateralized compared to symmetrical spinal cord injuries. Although this observation has …

Most rehabilitation interventions after spinal cord injury (SCI) only target the sublesional
spinal networks, peripheral nerves, and muscles. However, mammalian locomotion is not a …

Objective To identify the prognostic factors affecting the outcome of acute traumatic spinal
cord injury (tSCI) and to provide updated recommendations on improving outcomes …

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 …
