The effects of spinal cord injury (SCI) on c-fos expression in hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) and supraoptic nucleus (SON) in rats were investigated. As hypothesized, SCI has a significant effect on neuronal responses in the PVN and SON. A significant increase in c-fos in the PVN was found at 1, 6, 12 and 24 h following SCI, implying that the neurons in the PVN can be activated soon after SCI and persist for at least 24 h. However, in contrast to the PVN, SCI did not induce a significant increase in c-fos expression in the SON until 12 h following SCI. The highest expression of c-fos in the SON was found at the end point of this study (24 h) following SCI. The data demonstrated that SCI can significantly activate neurons in the PVN and SON. The activated neurons might involve in the initiation of a variety biochemical, ischemic and other injury processes. The area-specific effects of SCI on the PVN and SON suggest that these nuclei might play their roles in different stages in the prolonged time course following SCI.

D009068 Movement The act, process, or result of passing from one place or position to another. It differs from LOCOMOTION in that locomotion is restricted to the passing of the whole body from one place to another, while movement encompasses both locomotion but also a change of the position of the whole body or any of its parts. Movement may be used with reference to humans, vertebrate and invertebrate animals, and microorganisms. Differentiate also from MOTOR ACTIVITY, movement associated with behavior. Movements
