Glomus cells of the carotid body are peripheral chemoreceptors that detect changes in arterial oxygen levels. Hypoxia suppresses oxygen-sensitive K+ channels in glomus cells, resulting in cytosolic Ca2+ ([Ca2+]i) elevation in glomus cells via the activation of voltage-gated Ca2+ channels. The...

Rehabilitative reaching training and plasticity following spinal cord injury in the adult rat
DownloadSpring 2011
Injury to the cervical spinal cord is a devastating event that results in a transient to permanent loss of sensory and motor functions following injury. Moderate recovery has been reported to occur in individuals and in animal models after spinal cord injury (SCI). One approach to promote...
