Together with other findings and given that the number of microglial cells decreased over time, the results indicate that the brain was not damaged or chronically injured by the nanowires," Christelle Prinz concludes.
Our recent work has shown that thoracic SCI causes microglial cells to activate at multiple levels along the sensory neuraxis and to contribute to the maintenance, in real time, of hyperexcitability of dorsal horn and thalamic somatosensory neurons, which leads to chronic pain [10,12-13].
