The experimental model of choice for many peripheral nerve investigators is the rat. Walking
track analysis is a useful tool in the evaluation of functional peripheral nerve recovery in the …

The underlying bases of the considerable interindividual variability in pain-related traits are
starting to be revealed. Although the relative importance of genes versus experience in …

Autografting is the gold standard in the repair of peripheral nerve injuries that are not
amenable to end‐to‐end coaptation. However, because autografts result in donor‐site …

In experimental peripheral nerve studies, the rat sciatic nerve model is widely used to
examine functional changes after different surgical repairs or pharmacological treatments …

Peripheral nerve regeneration was studied across a tubulated 10-mm gap in the rat sciatic
nerve using histomorphometry and electrophysiological measurements of A-fiber, B-fiber …

Sciatic nerve injury has been used for over a century to investigate the process of nerve
damage, to assess the absolute and relative capacity of the central and peripheral nervous …

Sciatic nerve section (axotomy) increases the excitability of rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG)
neurons. The changes in Ca2+ currents, K+ currents, Ca2+-sensitive K+ current, and …

Peripheral nerve injuries account for roughly 3% of all trauma patients with over 900,000
repair procedures annually in the US. Of all extremity peripheral nerve injuries, 51% require …

The objectives of this study were to evaluate the regenerated axon structure at near‐terminal
locations in the peroneal and tibial branches 1 year following implantation of several tubular …

Walking track analysis was first described by de Medinaceli et al. This technique has been
significantly modified to provide methods of indexing nerve function that are more valid …
