Neurologist consulted an elderly patient with complaints about the difficulty of the neck movements, numbness and loss of the right hand sensation. Examination of the patient revealed a deformation of the spine in the lower cervical and upper thoracic part of the spinal cord caused by excessive deposition of calcium salts. What cells dysfunction influences the loss of sensitivity in the hand?
