Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Transient ischemia produces postischemic tingling sensation. Ischemia also produces nerve conduction block that may modulate spinal neural circuits. Neural activities were investigated using activity-dependent changes in endogenous fluorescence derived from mitochondrial flavoproteins. Ischemic treatment induced potentiation of the ipsilateral spinal responses to hindpaw stimulation. The present findings suggest that neural plasticity in the spinal cord shares the mechanisms, at least in part, with postischemic tingling sensation.
