This study investigates the role of mechanoreceptors and nociceptors in spinal cord injury-induced neuropathic pain, finding that early mechanoreceptor ablation reduces pain behavior, while nociceptor hyperexcitability and sprouting are key drivers of pain.

This study shows that damaging intermediate gray matter in the lumbar spinal cord of rats causes long-term locomotor deficits, with machine learning confirming the link to interneuronal loss.

This study assesses brain tissue properties and morphometry in chronic complete spinal cord injury patients using MRI, finding significant white matter volume loss linked to Wallerian degeneration but no structural brain changes with conventional analysis.
