Abstract
lpsilateral spinal cord areas occupied by axon collaterals of different types of ALT projection neurons. Dorsal Collateral Type projection neurons (DCTβI and II, upper right and left corners; respectively) send axon collaterals into the dorsal laminae of the same segment and these axons may extend into the overlying white matter. The collateral area of Lateral Collateral Type (LCT) neurons (purple cell, lower left) extends beyond the segment of the neuron, includes the lateral spinal nucleus, a part of the dorsolateral funiculus and may include the lateral part of laminae IβV. Collaterals of Ventral Collateral Type (VCT) neurons (yellow cell, lower right) are occupying an area that could be best described as a transverse slice of the grey matter ventral to lamina IV, centered on the rostrocaudal position of the neuron soma.

Dual retrograde axonal tracers, Fluoro-Gold (FG) and true blue (TB), were used in conjunction with [ 3 H]thymidine autoradiography to determine the number and neurogenic pattern of neurons with supraspinal projections in the superficial dorsal horn (SDH), i.e., laminae I and II, in spinal segment L1
Insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) promotes axonal regeneration in the peripheral nervous system and this effect is enhanced by platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). We decided, therefore, to study the effects of these factors on axonal regeneration in the adult rat spinal cord. Semipermeable pol
