Source: Brown, A. R., et al., Thoracic Spinal Cord Hemisection Surgery and Open-Field Locomotor Assessment in the Rat. J. Vis. Exp. (2019). This video demonstrates the surgical procedure for performing a thoracic spinal cord hemisection in rats. It outlines the steps to expose the T8 spinal cord segment, perform the hemisection to disrupt neural tracts on one side, and provide post-operative care.
