Description

Xinyi Yang and co-authors test pressurized oxygen therapy after spinal cord injury in rats in a 2024 study. The injury cuts sensation and movement below the damage. Hyperbaric oxygen is known to help, but how it changes the brain's own activity and wiring was unclear.

Twenty-seven rats were split into sham, injury, and injury-plus-oxygen groups. Resting brain scans measured local activity and connections seeded from the motor cortex, and behavior scores were correlated with the imaging. Tissue markers of neurons and cell death were checked in matching regions. A therapy judged by the brain's recovery, not only the cord's, gives rehab a fuller target.
