Cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) impairs arm and hand function largely by interrupting descending tracts. Most SCI spare some axons at the lesion, including the corticospinal tract (CST), which is critical for voluntary movement. We targeted descending motor connections with paired electrical stimulation of motor cortex and cervical spinal cord in the rat. We sought to replicate the previously published effects of intermittent theta burst stimulation of forelimb motor cortex combined with trans-spinal direct current stimulation placed on the skin over the neck to target the cervical enlargement. We hypothesized that paired stimulation would improve performance in skilled walking and food manipulation (IBB) tasks. Rats received a moderate C4 spinal cord contusion injury (200 kDynes), which ablates the main CST. They were randomized to receive paired stimulation for 10 consecutive days starting 11 days after injury, or no stimulation. Behavior was assessed weekly from weeks 4–7 after injury, and then CST axons were traced. Rats with paired cortical and spinal stimulation achieved significantly better forelimb motor function recovery, as measured by fewer stepping errors on the horizontal ladder task (34 ± 9% in stimulation group vs. 51 ± 18% in control,p= .013) and higher scores on the food manipulation task (IBB, 0–9 score; 7.2 ± 0.8 in stimulated rats vs. 5.2 ± 2.6 in controls,p= .025). The effect size for both tasks was large (Cohen's d = 1.0 and 0.92, respectively). The CST axon length in the cervical spinal cord did not differ significantly between the groups, but there was denser and broader ipsilateral axons distribution distal to the spinal cord injury. The large behavioral effect and replication in an independent laboratory validate this approach, which will be trialed in cats before being tested in people using non-invasive methods.
