M1 stimulation causes robust outgrowth to the spinal cord and targets the impaired side. A. Schema. Outgrowth to the impaired side of the spinal cord (red) is most likely to help restore function. B. BDA-labeled axons in C6 spinal cord cross section centered on the central canal. B1. A section from a representative injury only rat shows BDA-label is dense contralateral (right) and sparse ipsilateral (left). B2. A section from a representative injury and stimulation rat shows much greater axon label than in the rat with injury only. Scale bar, 250µm. C. Quantification of total axon length within each side of the spinal cord gray matter. D. Representative individual spinal cross-sections showing hand-traced BDA-labeled axons. D1 is traced from the section in B1, and D2 is traced from the section in B2.Scale bar, 500µm.
