Key result
In spinally transected rats, bursts of ongoing activity in 16% of dorsal horn neurons at T8 and 43% at T10 were positively correlated with bursts of ongoing renal sympathetic nerve activity.

DHNs may generate sympathetic activity hours after C1 transection; leaves open their clinical relevance in spinal cord injury.
In spinally transected rats, a population of dorsal horn neurons may generate or convey excitatory input to renal sympathetic preganglionic neurons.
Chau et al. (1997) studied Spinally transected rats. C1 spinal cord transection was evaluated on Correlation between ongoing activity of dorsal horn neurons and ongoing renal sympathetic nerve activity. In spinally transected rats, bursts of ongoing activity in 16% of dorsal horn neurons at T8 and 43% at T10 were positively correlated with bursts of ongoing renal sympathetic nerve activity.
