Origins of Neural Progenitor Cell-Derived Axons Projecting Caudally after Spinal Cord Injury. [PDF]
, 2019 Neural progenitor cells (NPCs) transplanted into sites of spinal cord injury (SCI) extend large numbers of axons into the caudal host spinal cord. We determined the precise locations of neurons in the graft that extend axons into the caudal host spinal ...

Hemianopia: A complication of epidural injection in a patient with arachnoid cyst – case report
SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2023 Epidural injections are routinely used for short-term management of radicular pain and chronic low back pain. Prescription of this intervention, in the presence of intracranial abnormalities, is a topic of debate.

Circuit dissection of the role of somatostatin in itch and pain [PDF]
, 2018 Stimuli that elicit itch are detected by sensory neurons that innervate the skin. This information is processed by the spinal cord; however, the way in which this occurs is still poorly understood.

The organisation of spinoparabrachial neurons in the mouse [PDF]
, 2015 The anterolateral tract (ALT), which originates from neurons in lamina I and the deep dorsal horn, represents a major ascending output through which nociceptive information is transmitted to brain areas involved in pain perception.

Nusinersen Administration in Spinal Muscular Atrophy Patients with Severe Scoliosis: Interlaminar Approaches at the Lumbar Level [PDF]
Annals of Child Neurology, 2020 Purpose Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a genetic progressive neuromuscular disorder, and nusinersen has shown to improve its symptoms. Scoliosis is a frequent symptom in patients with SMA and complicates the intrathecal injection of nusinersen. The aim

Distribution of glycine/GABA neurons in the ventromedial medulla with descending spinal projections and evidence for an ascending glycine/GABA projection. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2012 The ventromedial medulla (VM), subdivided in a rostral (RVM) and a caudal (CVM) part, has a powerful influence on the spinal cord. In this study, we have identified the distribution of glycine and GABA containing neurons in the VM with projections to the
