Spinal Cord Injury | What happens in the spinal cord after injury?

In this video, Dr Mike explains what happens to the spinal cord after injury.
He divides injury into primary and secondary phases, highlighting the cellular and molecular changes that occur in the spinal cord from minutes to months after injury. He also, explains how researchers are trying to combat different events within this process.

Wish all professors were born to teach like you are. Although, sometimes it's a bit hard to concentrate on what your saying while your waving those swole arms around :)

    I don’t understand why information isn’t relayed when there appears to be no break in the spinal cord. Also, the electrical devices that are used, I believe are active, meaning they have a battery/they stimulate. A passive design would seem to make more sense. I’m not an ee

    Its published in a plethora of internationally available medical texts and is the product of many strings of discovery over centuries. You'd be able to find the texts (clinically oriented anatom, physiology, this sort of thing) in a nearby library though you might have to go to a university library. The youtube form is a bit easier to digest though, especially when its explained so clearly. As for how swole the educator is, that is anyone's guess but probably comes from a dedication to exercise and nutritional control.

I can't function at all and going downhill. skull splitting too.. i belive from skull cancer..i'm scared in my own body as I pass on and terrified. horrible car accident 2 years ago.. stenosis and all kinds of still disc wrapping around spinal cord in neck and docs did nothing for it.. then falling out of bed who knows what I damagaged. But I know i'm soon passed and terrfies me, cancers so far gone taht no doc helps me at all. terrified to pass terrified.

    Great question, that would result in more glia scar formation which was a problem to begin with. so in short what they do is prevent secondary damages to the spinal cord, and possibly save whatever left from the initial surgery.

    Why people say “complete spinal cord injury” when the person can blink or bite their cheek is beyond me. Really, there’s no such thing. You shoulda kept going with the “below site of injury” to include the rest of the shit you relay to move like your eyelids or your cheek or even your ears.
