Lack of evidence for sprouting of Aβ afferents into the superficial laminas of the spinal cord dorsal horn after nerve section [PDF]
The central arborizations of large myelinated cutaneous afferents normally extend as far dorsally as the ventral part of lamina II in rat spinal cord. Woolf et al. (1992) reported that after nerve injury some of these afferents sprouted into lamina I and

Expression of neuropeptides – galanin and Reg2 - in subcategories of nociceptors after nerve injury [PDF]
PhDNeuropeptides show dynamic changes in expression after nerve injury, and have been implicated in chronic pain states. I sought to compare expression of two peptides which are upregulated after nerve injury, galanin and Reg2, and to determine the ...

Electrophysiological characterization of activation state-dependent Cav2 channel antagonist TROX-1 in spinal nerve injured rats. [PDF]
Prialt, a synthetic version of Cav2.2 antagonist ω-conotoxin MVIIA derived from Conus magus, is the first clinically approved voltage-gated calcium channel blocker for refractory chronic pain.

Mechanisms involved in chronic neuropathic pain after avulsion injury [PDF]
PhDMotor vehicle accidents are the most common cause of injuries involving avulsion of spinal roots from the brachial or lumbosacral plexuses. This results in chronic intractable pain that is refractory to pharmacotherapy.

The diameters and number of nerve fibers in spinal nerve roots [PDF]
To investigate the anatomical and histological features of spinal nerve roots and provide base data for neuroanastomosis therapy for paraplegia.Spinal nerve roots from C1 to S5 were exposed on six adult cadavers. The diameter and the number of nerve fibers of each nerve root were measured, respectively, with a caliper and image analysis software.As for

Clinical Features and Efficacy Analysis of Redundant Nerve Roots
Introduction: Redundant nerve roots (RNRs) are common finding in lumbar spinal stenosis patients. Up to now, many relevant studies were carried out on the mechanism, pathogenic factors, and clinical features of redundant nerve roots.

EARLY EMBRYONIC DEVELOPMENT OF THE CAMEL LUMBAR SPINAL CORD SEGMENT [PDF]
Summary The lumbar spinal cord segment of the camel embryos at 2.4 to 28 cm CVRL was examined. Major changes are occurring in the organization of the lumbar spinal cord segment at this early developmental period.
