Figure 2. SCI causes bilateral damage between spinal levels C7 and C8.

Figure 2.

(A) Damage to gray matter of the spinal cord is centered between C7 and C8, and extends rostrally and caudally. No difference in lesion extent were observed between VNS+Rehab or Rehab groups. Additional lesion quantification can be found in Fig. S1. (B,C) Representative examples from a range of levels illustrating the extent of damage through the cord. Substantial damage was observed near the lesion epicenter, with minimal injury to levels above and below. Scale bars indicate 3 mm in panel B and and 500 μm in panel C.
