The concentrations of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT), norepinephrine (NE) and dopamine (DA) were measured in samples of lumbar and cervical spinal cords from 6 cats with chronic (over 2 months) lesions of the thoracic spinal cord and from 7 unoperated cats. Lesions confined to the dorsal thoracic spinal cord significantly lowered lumbar concentrations of NE, but not 5-HT, compared with control lumbar or matched paired cervical samples. Both NE and 5-HT were significantly reduced by dorsal or ventral lesions that involved tissue ventral to the central canal. Only the largest lesion could be shown to reduce lumbar DA concentration.
在6只患有慢性（超过2个月）胸段脊髓损伤的猫以及7只未做手术的猫的腰段和颈段脊髓样本中，测量了5-羟色胺（5-HT）、去甲肾上腺素（NE）和多巴胺（DA）的浓度。与对照腰段或配对的颈段样本相比，局限于胸段脊髓背侧的损伤显著降低了腰段NE的浓度，但未降低5-HT的浓度。涉及中央管腹侧组织的背侧或腹侧损伤均使NE和5-HT显著降低。只有最大的损伤才会使腰段DA浓度降低。
