JOURNAL OF NEUROTRAUMA, 2010 • March 1, 2010
The study examined molecular changes in the cervical spinal cord of rhesus monkeys after traumatic brain injury (TBI), focusing on long-term effects up to 12 months post-lesion. Key findings include i...
KEY FINDING: There were significant increases in MHC-II and ERK1/2 immunoreactivity in the lateral corticospinal tract (LCST) of the cervical spinal cord up to 12 months post-lesion, indicating long-term microglial activation.
Brain Res, 2010 • April 6, 2010
This study investigates how diffuse traumatic brain injury (TBI) affects the activation and reorganization of the whisker-barrel circuit in rats. The researchers hypothesized that the extent of functi...
KEY FINDING: Whisker somatosensory regions of the cortex and thalamus maintained cellular composition as visualized by Nissl stain.

This present study demonstrates that the intracellular levels of NCS1 in adult cortical neurons can be significantly elevated by transduction with a lentiviral vector. Similarly, analogous experiments...
KEY FINDING: NCS1 overexpression in uninjured corticospinal neurons exhibited axonal sprouting across the midline into the CST-denervated side of the spinal cord following unilateral pyramidotomy.
