Hippocampal Mitochondrial Abnormalities Induced the Dendritic Complexity Reduction and Cognitive Decline in a Rat Model of Spinal Cord Injury
Figure 9
Proposed mechanism of cognitive impairments following SCI. SCI accelerated oxidative stress damage of hippocampal neuronal mitochondria, resulting in a reduction of dendritic complexity and synaptic communication, leading to cognitive decline.
