The macaque recovers quite rapidly from the immediate severe flaccid hemiparesis that results from unilateral section of the cervical spinal cord (between C3 and C6) and starts to use the impaired hand to pick up objects within about 30 days following the surgery. Within another 60 days, the monkey

## Abstract Line scan diffusion tensor magenetic resonance imaging (DTβMRI) of the cervical spinal cord was demonstrated in vivo for unsedated preterm (gestational age 24β30 weeks at birth), very low birthweight (birthweight 620β1300 g) infants at postmenstrual ages from 29β40 weeks. Scalar invaria
Immediately following a unilateral section of the midcervical spinal cord that interrupts the dorsolateral, lateral, and ventral columns, the macaque monkey has a severe flaccid paralysis on the side of the lesion. Recovery of hand function is rapid, and, although it is incomplete, within a few mont
