Abstract

To summarize the research progress on rodent models of cervical spinal cord injury (SCI). The relevant domestic and foreign literature in recent years was reviewed, the methods of establishing the rodent models of cervical SCI and the evaluation methods of behavior, imaging, neuroelectrophysiology, and histology were summarized. Cervical SCI involves primary and secondary injuries. Primary cervical SCI can be simulated with contusion, contusion compression, fracture dislocation, spinal cord traction, and spinal cord transection; scondary cervical SCI can be simulated with photochemical model and excitotoxicity model. Certain evaluation methods such as behavior, imaging, neuroelectrophysiology, and histology are used to evaluation during model building and research. Different rodent models of cervical SCI have different advantages and application directions, and it is critical importance for the study of cervical SCI to establish effective animal models.
