ECRL Motoneuron and Pre-Motor Interneuron Raw Counts

Group	Side	Motoneurons (Raw count)	Interneurons (Raw count)
72 h CTRL	Ipsilateral	18±5	18±3
	Contralateral	n/a	11±2
72 h C2Hx	Ipsilateral	1±1	6±2
	Contralateral	n/a	5±3
96 h CTRL	Ipsilateral	63±10*	555±170#
	Contralateral	n/a	220±63
96 h C2Hx	Ipsilateral	48±9*	638±163#
	Contralateral	n/a	253±49

Values are means ± standard error of the mean (SEM). Statistical analyses of motoneuron counts were conducted using two way ANOVA. No differences in motoneuron counts were observed between CTRL and C2Hx groups. Statistical analyses of interneuron counts were limited to the 96 h time point using a two way ANOVA. No differences in labeling were observed between CTRL and C2Hx groups.

^*p<0.05 difference from 72 h. ^#p<0.05 difference from contralateral.

ECRL, extensor carpi radialis longus; CRTL, control; C2Hx, high cervical lateral hemisection.
