Popis: Abstract Neurogenic bladder (NB) affects people of all ages. Electric impedance myography (EIM) assesses localized muscle abnormalities. Here, we sought to investigate whether unique detrusor EIM signatures are present in NB due to spinal cord injury (SCI). Twenty-eight, 8–10 weeks old, C57BL/6J female mice were studied. Twenty underwent spinal cord transection; 8 served as controls. Cohorts were euthanized at 4 and 6 weeks after spinal cord transection. Each bladder was measured in-situ with EIM with applied frequencies of 1 kHz to 10 MHz, and then processed for molecular and histologic study. SCI mice had greater bladder-to-body weight ratio (p
