Reorganization of the somatosensory pathway after subacute incomplete cervical cord injury

ConclusionThese functional and structural findings may demonstrate the existence of an alternative pathway in the impairment of somatosensory function after SCI, which consists of the ipsilateral cerebellum, the brainstem and the contralateral postCG. It provides a new theoretical basis for the mechanism of sensory-related brain alteration in SCI patients and the rehabilitation therapy based on this pathway in the future.
