A Latent Propriospinal Network Can Restore Diaphragm Function After High Cervical Spinal Cord Injury

Spinal cord injury (SCI) above cervical level 4 disrupts descending axons from the medulla that innervate phrenic motor neurons, causing permanent paralysis of the diaphragm. Using an ex vivo preparation in neonatal mice, we have identified an excitatory spinal network which can direct phrenic motor...
