We report here a model of submaximal spinal cord injury, employing direct thoracic cord compression in ferrets. This yields consistent and reproducible long term consequences on local cellular structure and on locomotive function. We show also that both the anatomical and functional losses can be measured objectively using simple techniques, and that useful long-tract mediated locomotion is preserved after severe axonal losses at the site of injury.
我们在此报告一种亚最大脊髓损伤模型，该模型通过对雪貂进行胸段脊髓直接压迫来构建。这会对局部细胞结构和运动功能产生一致且可重复的长期影响。我们还表明，解剖学和功能上的损失都可以使用简单技术进行客观测量，并且在损伤部位发生严重轴突损失后，有用的长束介导运动仍得以保留。
