Motoneuron survival and axon regeneration following immediate versus delayed implantation of peripheral nerve graft into the spinal cord of adult rats with c5 and c6 root avulsion
Avulsion of spinal nerve roots is a CNS injury that results in motoneuron cell death and paralysis of the affected limb. It has been demonstrated in rats, cats and primates that following spinal nerve root avulsion injured motoneurons can extend axons into ventral roots or peripheral nerve (PN) g...
