Brain-Dependent Processes Fuel Pain-Induced Hemorrhage After Spinal Cord Injury

Brain-Dependent Processes Fuel Pain-Induced Hemorrhage After Spinal Cord Injury

Pain (nociceptive) input caudal to a spinal contusion injury can undermine long-term recovery and increase tissue loss (secondary injury). Prior work suggests that nociceptive stimulation has this effect because it fosters the breakdown of the blood-spinal cord barrier (BSCB) at the site of injury,...
