Note the markedly reduced inflammatory response and the integration of the implant with the surrounding parenchyma. m, medial; 1, lateral. that of an intact L5 root. In this particular animal, the rostrocaudal extent of fiber ingrowth is expanded and the medial-lateral extent compressed compared to the DREZ of an intact L5 root. Fibers regenerating past the DREZ into the spinal cord can take one of several paths.

Dr. Marin-Padilla responded: The cortex begins to have what appear to be synapses in layers V and VI at about 15 to 16 weeks of gestation. The spinal cord is completely developed by 10 weeks of gestation with all structures present, for example, metameric segmentation, nerves, dorsal root ganglia, ventral and dorsal roots, but not necessarily the long tracts such as the pyramidal tracts conveying cortical influences. In the cerebellum climbing fibers will begin to reach the Purkinje cells at 31 weeks of gestation.

From Marin-Padilla M, et al. Brain Res. ) type of curve that is similar to all mammals studied ,22,23 including man. 20 ,24 This spine distribution curve reflects that of the excitatory axospinodendritic synapses through layers I to V. The computer evaluation of this curve has indicated that it could represent the summation of five different curves. 24 This model proposes the existence of five overlapping but distinct populations of spines distributed along the apical dendrite. Each population of spines, represented in the model by a distinct gaussian curve, makes synaptic contacts with a different afferent system of fibers and is associated with a distinct cortical lamination (Fig.
