SCI increased the number of c-Fos protein-expressing DH neurons. Immunohistochemistry against c-Fos in the DH 35 d following laminectomy (A) or contusion (B). Quantification of c-Fos⁺ cells in Lamina I (C), and Laminae II+III (D). SCI-induced Fos expression in ventral horn astrocytes: higher-magnification image of a FosTRAP2 reporter⁺ astrocyte in ipsilateral C7 ventral horn (E). Representative transverse section of C7 spinal cord following laminectomy (F) or contusion (G). Scale bar: 300 µm (F, G).
