Figure 5. Dorsal horn invagination by implanted microwires.

Figure 5

Serial images from one example (of two total) of dorsal horn damage due to invagination of microwires running across the dorsal surface of the spinal cord. Immunohistochemical stains for (A) Map-2, (B), NeuN, (C) ED-1 and (D) GFAP. Encapsulation of the microwire occurred with some deformation of the dorsal grey matter. Some pieces of insulation pulled off from the microwires and can be seen in panel B as dark spots indicated by the arrow.
