Overview of the study design. A Study timeline indicating daily O2 treatments and plethysmography (pleth) measurements. B Schematic indicating the treatments received by each of the experimental groups. Each of the colors indicates a different experimental group. C The 32 L hyperbaric chamber used for treating rats with pressurized gas. D The whole body plethysmography chamber used for recording breathing. E Drawing of the spinal cord illustrating the approximate location and size of the lesion induced by unilateral contusion at C4. F Representative photomicrographs of transverse (cross) sections of the C4 spinal cord stained with cresyl violet. Examples are included from an intact (uninjured) cord (left) and after C4 contusion (SCI, right)
