title: Lumbar-spinal somatosensory evoked potentials in the rat after stimulation of the tibial nerve.
abstract: Spinal somatosensory evoked potentials after stimulation of the tibial nerve were recorded from the lumbospinal cord of rats. Their components and the respective latencies recorded over L5/6 and L1/2 in 40 normal animals are described. Using this method exact statements concerning lesions particularly of the proximal segment of the peripheral nerves and their roots can be made.
