Hypothermia Suppresses Excitatory Synaptic Transmission and Neuronal Death Induced by Experimental Ischemia in Spinal Ventral Horn Neurons

Abstract

These results suggest that hypothermia reduces the excitatory synaptic activities and ischemic neuronal death in the spinal ventral horn. This finding may help in achieving a better understanding of the mechanisms of hypothermia-mediated neuroprotection in the spinal cord.
