- W1963808393 abstract "Previous reports from our laboratory have described short-latency contractions in muscles of the distal upper limb following stimulation of lower limb nerves or skin in persons with injury to the cervical spinal cord. It takes 6 or more months for interlimb reflexes (ILR) to appear following acute spinal cord injury (SCI), suggesting they might be due to new synaptic interconnections between lower limb sensory afferents and motoneurons in the cervical enlargement. In this study, we asked if once formed, the strength of these synaptic connections increased over time, a finding that would be consistent with the above hypothesis.We studied persons with sub-acute and/or chronic cervical SCI. ILR were elicited by brief trains of electrical pulses applied to the skin overlying the tibial nerve at the back of the knee. Responses were quantified based on their presence or absence in different upper limb muscles. We also generated peri-stimulus time histograms for single motor unit response latency, probability, and peak duration. Comparisons of these parameters were made in subjects at sub-acute versus chronic stages post-injury.In persons with sub-acute SCI, the probability of seeing ILR in a given muscle of the forearm or hand was low at first, but increased substantially over the next 1-2 years. Motor unit responses at this sub-acute stage had a prolonged and variable latency, with a lower absolute response probability, compared to findings from subjects with chronic (i.e. stable) SCI.Our findings demonstrate that interlimb reflex activity, once established after SCI, shows signs of strengthening synaptic contacts between afferent and efferent components, consistent with ongoing synaptic plasticity.Neurons within the adult human spinal cord caudal to a lesion site are not static, but appear to be capable of developing novel-yet highly efficacious-synaptic contacts following trauma-induced partial denervation. In this case, such contacts between ascending afferents and cervical motoneurons do not appear to provide any functional benefit to the subject. In fact their presence may limit the regenerative effort of supraspinal pathways which originally innervated these motoneurons, should effort in animal models to promote regeneration across the lesion epicenter be successfully translated to humans with chronic SCI." @default.
