The area of spinal cord plasticity has become a very actively
researched field. The spinal cord has long been known to organize
reflex patterns and serve as the major transmission pathway for
sensory and motor nerve impulses. However, the role of the spinal
cord in information processing and in experience driven alterations
is generally not recognized. With recent advances in neural
recording techniques, behavioral technologies and neural tracing
and imaging methods has come the ability to better assess the role
of the spinal cord in behavioral control and alteration. The
discoveries in recent years have been revolutionary. Alterations
due to nociceptive inputs, simple learning paradigms and repetitive
inputs have now been documented and their mechanisms are being
elucidated. These findings have important clinical implications.
The development of pathological pain after a spinal cord injury
likely depends on the sensitization of neurons within the spinal
cord. The capacity of the spinal cord to change as a function of
experience, and adapt to new environmental relations, also affects
the recovery locomotive function after a spinal cord injury.
Mechanisms within the spinal cord can support stepping and the
capacity for this behavior depends on behavioral training. By
taking advantage of the plasticity inherent within the spinal cord,
rehabilitative procedures may foster the recovery of function.
