Molecular, anatomical, physiological, and behavioral studies of rats treated with buprenorphine after spinal cord injury.

abstract：:Spinal cord injury (SCI) can cause physical disability and psychological distress; however, whether SCI is a risk factor for dementia is unclear. This study evaluated the incidence of dementia in patients with SCI. Study participants were recruited from a nationwide cohort during 2004-2007 and categorized into SCI (pa...
