Tissue sparing at the site of SCI could possibly have the secondary effect of providing a descending pain inhibitory system with greater integrity as a result of neuroprotection; more specifically, the sparing of descending fibers such as the serotonergic medullary raphespinal tract that travels in the dorsolateral funiculus [40] and/or the catecholaminergic coerulospinal pathway originating in A5 and other nuclei could have this effect [41].
