Anisotropic water diffusion in neural fibres such as nerve, white matter in spinal cord, or
white matter in brain forms the basis for the utilization of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to …

A first-ever spinal cord imaging meeting was sponsored by the International Spinal
Research Trust and the Wings for Life Foundation with the aim of identifying the current state …

Myelin loss and axonal damage are both observed in white matter injuries. Each may have
significant impact on the long-term disability of patients. Currently, there does not exist a …

Inflammatory reaction following a spinal cord injury (SCI) contributes substantially to
secondary effects, with both beneficial and devastating effects. This review summarizes the …

Publisher Summary This chapter outlines the history and practice of animal spinal cord
contusion models, with particular emphasis on the Multicenter Animal Spinal Cord Injury …

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Spinal cord damage can result in major functional
disability. Alteration of the spinal cord structural integrity can be assessed by using diffusion …

Traumatic axonal injury (TAI) is thought to be a major contributor to cognitive dysfunction
following traumatic brain injury (TBI), however TAI is difficult to diagnose or characterize non …

Temporal changes in blood flow are commonly observed in malignant tumours, but the
evolutionary causes and consequences are rarely considered. We propose that stochastic …

Partial injury to the spinal cord can propagate itself, sometimes leading to paralysis
attributable to degeneration of initially undamaged neurons. We demonstrated recently that …

Characterizing demyelination/degeneration of spinal pathways in traumatic spinal cord
injured (SCI) patients is crucial for assessing the prognosis of functional rehabilitation. Novel …
