Spinal cord motor neuron plasticity accompanies second ‐degree burn injury and chronic pain

This study is the first report of evidence demonstrating that a second‐degree bu rn injury significantly affects motor neuron structure within the spinal cord. Furthermore, our results support the opportunity to study dendritic spine dysgenesis as a novel avenue to clarify the complexities of neurological disease following traumatic injury.
