Longitudinal Optogenetic Motor Mapping Revealed Structural and Functional Impairments and Enhanced Corticorubral Projection after Contusive Spinal Cord Injury in Mice [PDF]
Current evaluation of impairment and repair after spinal cord injury (SCI) is largely dependent on behavioral assessment and histological analysis of injured tissue and pathways. Here, we evaluated whether transcranial optogenetic mapping of motor cortex

Secondary Mechanisms of Neurotrauma: A Closer Look at the Evidence
Traumatic central nervous system injury is a leading cause of neurological injury worldwide. While initial neuroresuscitative efforts are focused on ameliorating the effects of primary injury through patient stabilization, secondary injury in neurotrauma

Nociceptive neuropeptide increases and periorbital allodynia in a model of traumatic brain injury. [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: This study tests the hypothesis that injury to the somatosensory cortex is associated with periorbital allodynia and increases in nociceptive neuropeptides in the brainstem in a mouse model of controlled cortical impact (CCI) injury.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging Pilot Study of Intravenous Glyburide in Traumatic Brain Injury. [PDF]
Pre-clinical studies of traumatic brain injury (TBI) show that glyburide reduces edema and hemorrhagic progression of contusions. We conducted a small Phase II, three-institution, randomized placebo-controlled trial of subjects with TBI to assess the ...

RPS3‐Enriched Extracellular Vesicles Mediate Liver‐Spinal Cord Inter‐Organ Communication
Spinal cord injury activates the liver to send extracellular vesicles loaded with RPS3 protein to the lesion site. These vesicles are taken up by neural stem cells and astrocytes, triggering NF‐κB signaling, impairing the regeneration of neurons and myelin, and promotes harmful inflammation, ultimately hindering recovery.

Early phrenic motor neuron loss and transient respiratory abnormalities following unilateral cervical spinal cord contusion [PDF]
Contusion-type cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the most common forms of SCI observed in patients. In particular, injuries targeting the C3-C5 region affect the pool of phrenic motor neurons (PhMNs) that innervates the diaphragm, resulting in ...

Small Strokes, Big Impact: Excessive Mortality After Acute Ischemic Stroke in Parkinson's Disease
Abstract Background Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) in those with Parkinson's disease (PD) is a growing healthcare burden but mortality studies are significantly lacking. Objective To map short‐ and long‐term survival, stratified by relevant comorbidities and stroke characteristics.
