Rat SCI generates spontaneous DC potentials possibly reflecting ionic shifts; extends animal observations but leaves open human translation.
Does acute spinal cord injury in rats produce spontaneous electrical potentials?
Acute spinal cord injury in rats generates spontaneous electrical potentials that decrease in intensity over 4 hours, supporting previously reported ionic shifts.
Goodman et al. (1985) studied this question.
