Advance in Mechanism of Brain Remodeling Induced by Spinal Cord Injury (review) / 中国康复理论与实践

ABSTRACT

In recent decades, with the development of electrophysiological and neuroimaging techniques, the researchers found that spi-nal cord injury (SCI) not only caused pathological changes in the spinal cord, but also in the brain. This paper reviewed the influence of SCI on the structure and function of the brain in terms of brain neuron degeneration caused by SCI, the changes of neurotrophic factor in brain, and the side-effects of medicine.
