| Abstract |
Spinal cord injuries (SCI) are neuropathologies causing enormous physical and emotional anguish as well as irreversibly disabilities with great socio/economic burdens to our society. The availability of multiple mouse strains is important for studying the underlying pathophysiological response after SCI. Although strain differences have been shown to directly affect spontaneous functional recovery following incomplete SCI, its influence after complete lesion of the spinal cord is unclear. To study the influence of mouse strain on recovery after severe SCI, we first carried out behavioral analyses up to 6 weeks following complete transection of the spinal cord in mice with two different genetic backgrounds namely, C57BL/6 and Swiss Webster. Using immunohistochemistry, we then analyzed glial cell reactivity not only at different time-points after injury but also at different distances from the lesion epicenter. Behavioral assessments using CatWalk™ and open field analyses revealed increased mobility (measured using average speed) and differential forelimb gross sensory response in Swiss Webster compared to C57BL/6 mice after complete transection of the spinal cord. Comprehensive histological assessment revealed elevated microglia/macrophage reactivity and a moderate increase in astrogliosis in Swiss Webster that was associated with reduced microcavity formation and reduced lesion volume after spinal cord transection compared to C57BL/6 mice. Our results thus suggest that increased mobility correlates with enhanced gliosis and better tissue protection after complete transection of the spinal cord. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 June 2018.
All research outputs
#20,523,725
of 23,092,602 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience
#3,600
of 4,279 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#287,398
of 328,076 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Cellular Neuroscience
#94
of 109 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,092,602 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,279 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.2. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 328,076 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 109 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
