Degeneration of the injured cervical cord is associated with remote changes in corticospinal tract integrity and upper limb impairment.

Degeneration of the injured cervical cord is associated with remote changes in corticospinal tract integrity and upper limb impairment.

Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to disruption of axons and macroscopic tissue loss. Using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), we assessed degeneration of the corticospinal tract (CST) in the cervical cord above a traumatic lesion and explored its relationship with cervical atrophy, remote axona...
