Months after the occurrence of spinal cord dorsal column lesions (DCLs) at the cervical level, neural responses in the hand representation of somatosensory area 3b hand cortex recover, along with hand use. To examine whether the second-order spinal cord pathway contributes to this functional recovery, we injected cholera toxin subunit B (CTB) into the hand representation in the cuneate nucleus (Cu) to label the spinal cord neurons, and related results to cortical reactivation in four squirrel monkeys (Saimiri boliviensis) at least 7 months after DCL. In two monkeys with complete DCLs, few CTB-labeled neurons were present below the lesion, and few neurons in the affected hand region in area 3b responded to touch on the hand. In two other cases with large but incomplete DCLs, CTB-labeled neurons were abundant below the lesion, and the area 3b hand cortex responded well to tactile stimulation in a roughly somatotopic organization. The proportions of labeled neurons in the spinal cord hand region reflected the extent of cortical reactivation to the hand. Comparing monkeys with short and long recovery times suggests that the numbers of labeled neurons below the lesion increase with time following incomplete DCLs (<95%) but decrease with time after nearly complete DCLs (≥95%). Taken together, these results suggest that the second-order spinal cord pathway facilitates cortical reactivation, likely through the potentiation of persisting tactile inputs from the hand to the Cu over months of postlesion recovery.
