Rat (Normal)
Rat (Spinal Cord Injured)
Bladder Sheets, Isometric Tension Bladder Sheets, Optical Imaging, Ca/Vm Waves Bladder Sheets, Isometric Tension Bladder Sheets, Imaging, Ca/Vm Waves
Control Small, chaotic SA (n = 6) Multiple initiation sites (n = 7) Organized, large SA (n = 6) One/few initiation site (n = 7)
Glivec No effect (n = 6) No effect (n = 6) Reduced amplitude (n = 6) Reverted to multiple initiation sites (n = 6)

n, No. of repeat observations from separate preparations for each experiment.
