Model: Left lateral C2 spinal cord hemisection caudal to the C2 dorsal roots after C2/C3 laminectomy, the incision made to the ventral lamina surface and repeated five times from midline to the most lateral extent of the cord under ketamine and xylazine (70 mg per kg and 7 mg per kg intraperitoneally); the lesion encompassed 51.2 percent of total cord volume at the epicentre

A single chondroitinase ABC injection restored synchronised ipsilateral hemidiaphragm activity in about two thirds of chronically injured rats and improved neuromuscular junction anatomy and ventilatory responses, while combination with intermittent hypoxia strengthened ventilation but caused aberr…
