Extremely excited for the 2nd annual retreat of the Spinal Cord Injury Graduate Training Program at @DrexelNeurobio and @mmscrc, with special presentations from Adam Ferguson & Keith Tansey @UCSF_BASIC @mhshospitals @DrexelNews @DrexelMedicine @NeurosurgUCSF @DrexelNeurobio

[David W. McMillan @DrDWMcMillan]

Thorough review by Mariah Wulf n @VeronicaTomlab of @mmscrc/@DrexelNeurobio on sympathetic consequences of SCI, w overview of effects on heart, lungs, liver, gut, spleen, adrenals, kidney, bladder, etc, even pineal gland & eye.

So much impact of SCI is not outwardly obvious!
