Different macaque brain network remodeling after spinal cord injury and NT3 treatment

Summary: Graph theory-based analysis describes the brain as a complex network. Only a few studies have examined modular composition and functional connectivity (FC) between modules in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Little is known about the longitudinal changes in hubs and topological prope...

description Summary: Graph theory-based analysis describes the brain as a complex network. Only a few studies have examined modular composition and functional connectivity (FC) between modules in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI). Little is known about the longitudinal changes in hubs and topological properties at the modular level after SCI and treatment. We analyzed differences in FC and nodal metrics reflecting modular interaction to investigate brain reorganization after SCI-induced compensation and neurotrophin-3 (NT3)–chitosan-induced regeneration. Mean inter-modular FC and participation coefficient of areas related to motor coordination were significantly higher in the treatment animals than in the SCI-only ones at the late stage. The magnocellular part of the red nucleus may reflect the best difference in brain reorganization after SCI and therapy. Treatment can enhance information flows between regions and promote the integration of motor functions to return to normal. These findings may reveal the information processing of disrupted network modules.
