Fig. 5From: Effect of lesion proximity on the regenerative response of long descending propriospinal neurons after spinal transection injuryExperimental 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 microdissectionBack to article page
