Experimental Schematic. Animals receiving spinal cord injuries were divided into two different injury groups, animals receiving a transection injury at spinal level T10 (a), and those receiving a transection injury at T2 (b). All animals received a series of Fluorogold tracer injections (3 bilaterally; approximately 0.3 μL each) in the lumbosacral enlargement. After 1 week tracer transport time, animals were then subjected to a spinal transection at either the T10 (a) or T2 (b) spinal level. Following a three day post-injury recovery time, animals were sacrificed, and tissue from the indicated areas was collected for laser capture microdissection
