Stereotactic radiosurgery improves locomotor recovery after spinal cord injury in rats.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Brain responses from concussive impacts in National Football League football games were simulated by finite element analysis using a detailed anatomic model of the brain and head accelerations from laboratory reconstructions of game impacts. This study compares brain responses with physician determined signs ...
