Representative integrated (A and B) and raw (C and D) EMG activity of right/left diaphragm (R/L_Dia) and second external intercostal muscle (R/L_T2 EIC) before (A, C) and one day after (B, D) spinal hemisection (C2HS) during maximum chemoreceptor stimulation (MCS). Note: (1) significantly reduced EMG activity in ipsilateral diaphragm and T2 external intercostal in (D), confirming the cervical hemisection; (2) absence of MCS response in injured (left) diaphragm and bilateral T2 EIC muscle in (B). (E) Representative longitudinal spinal cord slide (C1-C6) stained with Cresyl violet showing C2HS.
