Temporal profiles of apoptosis-related markers and locomotor recovery during repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation after spinal cord injury in female rats.
Spinal cord injury (SCI) triggers a cascade of secondary injury processes, among which apoptosis contributes to neuronal loss and functional deterioration. Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) is a promising non-invasive neuromodulatory intervention for SCI, but the temporal profiles of apoptosis-related...
