Physiology Research

KEY FINDING: TMS studies indicate that motor cortex excitability decreases when the real hand is disembodied during the RHI, and ownership of the rubber hand correlates with normal parietal-motor communication.

KEY FINDING: C2Hx had no detectable impact on phrenic motor neuron survival with either subacute (2-weeks) or chronic (8-weeks) spinal injury.

KEY FINDING: Activation of the TLR4-NFκB pathway reduced myelin uptake by bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDM), while IFNγ-Jak/STAT1 signaling did not.

KEY FINDING: TNF-α, CCL2, and CXCL1 are significantly increased in the TNC region of ION-CCI rats, suggesting their involvement in trigeminal neuralgia.

KEY FINDING: Sevoflurane upregulates the expression of ATPIF1 to induce inflammation and caspase-3 activation.

KEY FINDING: Spinal cord interneurons (SpINs) can be cultured long-term (over 2 months) in a defined, simple serum-free medium.

KEY FINDING: Correction of identification errors of notes (E–J) in the legend for Figure 5.

KEY FINDING: Dock3 mKO mice presented with significant hyperglycemia and increased fat mass, indicating a metabolic role in the maintenance of skeletal muscle health.

KEY FINDING: Axotomized M1LV neurons became excessively depolarized after SCI, meaning their resting membrane potential was higher than normal.

KEY FINDING: MEP and ENG stimulations both resulted in evoked potentials, with larger amplitude values following the application of magnetic pulses.
