Altered Cerebellar Circuitry following Thoracic Spinal Cord Injury in Adult Rats

Figure 1

Low-power (20x objective) photomicrographs of SMI-31 axonal staining in lobule III from sham cerebellum (a) and the cerebellum from a 42-day SCI animal (b). Note the prominent decrease of SMI-31 positive immunoreactive profiles in the molecular layer (ML) corresponding to a loss of granule cell parallel fibers. PC: Purkinje cell layer; GC: granule cell region.
