Method to record evoked potentials from the frog eighth nerve.
A method for recording evoked potentials from the eighth nerve of frogs is described. A prominent bipolar wave with latency of 3-6 ms recorded in response to auditory stimuli in Rana catesbeiana is attributable to eighth-nerve activity. The evoked potential provides an integrated response for study of inner ear and peripheral neural activity which complements responses obtained by other recording methods.
