An investigation of possible transynaptic neuronal degeneration in human spinal cord injury

Neurophysiological studies suggested that transynaptic neuronal degeneration of the anterior horn cells (AHC) may occur after an upper motoneuron lesion as the result of “deafferentation”. To test this observation anatomically, patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) who had come to post mortem were...
