Spinal Cord Injury Immediately Changes the State of the Brain
Juan Aguilar,Desire Humanes-Valera,Elena Alonso-Calviño,Josue G. Yague,Karen A. Moxon,Antonio Oliviero,Guglielmo Foffani +6 more
TL;DR: It is shown that a complete thoracic transection of the spinal cord produces immediate functional reorganization in the primary somatosensory cortex of anesthetized rats, and that this state change plays a critical role in the early cortical reorganization after spinal cord injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Increased responses in the somatosensory thalamus immediately after spinal cord injury.
Elena Alonso-Calviño,I. Martínez-Camero,E. Fernández-López,Desire Humanes-Valera,Guglielmo Foffani,Juan Aguilar +5 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that peripheral inputs from both extremities overlap on neuronal populations in the somatosensory thalamus and show that the responses of thalamic neurons to forepaw and hindpaw stimuli are increased immediately after SCI, in association with a specific decrease in spontaneous activity in the hindpawed locations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dual Cortical Plasticity After Spinal Cord Injury
Desire Humanes-Valera,Guglielmo Foffani,Elena Alonso-Calviño,Elena Fernández-López,Juan Aguilar +4 more
TL;DR: A striking “decrease” in the fast cortical responses to high‐intensity forepaw stimulation 1–3 months after complete thoracic spinal cord transection is shown, as evident in both local field potentials and intracellular in vivo recordings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Slow-wave activity homeostasis in the somatosensory cortex after spinal cord injury
TL;DR: It is concluded that SCI induces different homeostatic changes in cortical slow-wave depending on the time after lesion, which could help better understand the cortical plasticity associated with acute or chronic SCI.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cortical layer-specific modulation of neuronal activity after sensory deprivation due to spinal cord injury
Marta Zaforas,Juliana M. Rosa,Elena Alonso-Calviño,Elena Fernández-López,Claudia Miguel-Quesada,A. Oliviero,Juan Aguilar +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied how local circuitries within each layer of the deafferented cortex set the basis for neuroplastic changes after immediate thoracic spinal cord injury (SCI) in anaesthetised rats.
