Electrical stimulation of the sciatic nerve restores inspiratory diaphragm function in mice after spinal cord injury

Electrical stimulation of the sciatic nerve restores inspiratory diaphragm function in mice after spinal cord injury

IntroductionSpinal cord injury in the high cervical cord can impair breathing due to disruption of pathways between brainstem respiratory centers and respiratory motor neurons in the spinal cord. Electrical stimulation of limb afferents can increase ventilation in healthy humans and animals, but it...
