Spinal Cord Transection

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceeding › Chapter

Abstract

A review of spinal cord transection is presented. Traumatic spinal cord transection causes complex changes in the spinal cord such as ischemia, the secondary inflammation cascade, and scarring. After this type of transection, adult mammals recover minimum function related to axonal regeneration. Plasticity appears to underlie the emergence of abnormal reflexive responses.
