A spinal cord hemisection at the level of L1 would primarily result in a loss of motor function and sensory perception on the side of the body opposite to the injury (contralateral side) due to the crossing of sensory pathways. On the same side as the injury (ipsilateral side), there would be a loss of proprioception and fine touch, while pain and temperature sensation would remain intact. Additionally, this injury could lead to lower limb weakness and potential loss of bladder and bowel control due to disruption of neural pathways. Overall, the effects would vary based on the extent of the injury and individual differences.

Spinal injury does not affect mental processing at all. This is save for the psychological effects of having to come to terms with the disability. It would also not affect the base personality of the injured person - the behviour of the injured person would remain the same - depending on the mobility requirement of the behaviour you are referring to - as well as the psychological acceptance level of the individual.

What happens if you get glass in your spinal cord?

If you are in a car accident or have glass come in contact with your spinal cord in some other way, the result could be a complete spinal cord injury and complete paralysis below the level of injury. Immediate surgery would be necessary to prevent the glass from causing further damage. Any nerves severed by the glass would be incapable of carrying messages between the brain and the body, therefore anything below the injury site would be paralyzed.
