title: Does postbrachial deafferentation modify the cortical responses to forelimb stimulation?
abstract: Epidural evoked potential recordings were performed in four macaque monkeys on peripheral nerve stimulation, before and after spinal transection, to evaluate whether the Schiff-Sherrington phenomenon could be demonstrated in this manner. No change in evoked potentials from upper extremity stimulation was seen after mid-thoracic spinal cord transection.
