Penetrating spinal cord injury transiently inhibits responsiveness to touch in mice

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating mechanical trauma of the spinal cord. We recently showed that penetration of fine needles from dorsal to ventral regions in the spinal cord disturbed spontaneous locomotion in mice. However, it has not been verified if penetrating SCI at the dorsal side of the spinal cord, resp...
