Cortical brain mapping of peripheral nerves using functional magnetic resonance imaging in a rodent model.

abstract：:An experimental study was conducted using rat soleus muscles to characterize reinnervation of the denervated muscles by direct muscle neurotization. Also studied was whether there is any difference in the regeneration process between original (tibial) and foreign (peroneal) nerve neurotization. For functional evaluati...
