Cervical spinal demyelination with ethidium bromide impairs respiratory (phrenic) activity and forelimb motor behavior in rats

► Spinal ethidium bromide injections produced transient dorsolateral demyelination. ► Ventilation did not change with ethidium bromide (EB) demyelination. ► Ipsilateral phrenic nerve amplitude was transiently reduced post-EB. ► Ipsilateral limb function was continually impaired post-EB. ► EB provide...
