Abstract:
An intercostal nerve-spinal cord implantation and semitransection of the spinalcord at the point between the origin and insertion of the intercostal nerve was madeon ten adult dogs and two monkeys.One to two weeks after this operation,paraly-tic legs following semitransection of the spinal cord recoverded from the paralysis.The implanted nerves were cut during the different period from 124 to 366 days.The function of the legs of four animals which had recovered paralysed again aftersurgical section of implanted nerve.Histologically,the inserted nerves in the spinalcord were recognized in these animals.Many of the growing fibers extended fromdistal end of the inserted intercostal nerve into the gray and white matter ofthe distal segment of the spinal cord.It is considered that the efficacy of the inter-costal nerve-spinal cord implantation depends upon the choice of the symptomaticindications and the success of the implantation procedure.
