The second type in the clinical groups is characterized by weakening of functional connections of the hippocampus with the structures that transform afferent information flows.

The technologies of single-cell and single-nucleus RNA sequencing serve as effective tools for determining the role of various types of cells in normal and pathological reactions in the spinal cord. Spatial transcriptomics combines these technologies with the methods of obtaining and saving spatial information about cells in the tissue, which allows one to localize more precisely the injured area, characterize in detail the tissue compartments in the specific anatomical region, and analyze the pathological picture at the cellular and molecular level. Atlases of development of RNA-sequencing technologies and spatial transcriptomics created on the basis of the data from single-cell and single-nucleus RNA sequencing open great opportunities for new perspective concepts concerning the mechanisms of rearranging neural connections and restoration of sensorimotor functions in traumatic spine injury.
