Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research was carried out to determine whether the neural disruption in spina bifida model animals with the leg dysfunction was occurred or not. the research suggested that the affected spinal cord to create spina bifida in the model lead to the neural disruption, regardless of the normal appearance of the developed spinal cord on the surface.
