Left-right side-specific endocrine signaling complements neural pathways to mediate acute asymmetric effects of brain injury

Left-right side-specific endocrine signaling complements neural pathways to mediate acute asymmetric effects of brain injury

Brain injuries can interrupt descending neural pathways that convey motor commands from the cortex to spinal motoneurons. Here, we demonstrate that a unilateral injury of the hindlimb sensorimotor cortex of rats with completely transected thoracic spinal cord produces hindlimb postural asymmetry wit...
