Spinal pathways mediating somatosensory evoked potentials from cutaneous and muscle nerves in the cat.
The Authors give evidence on the function of a pathway mediating somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) from muscle nerves, other than the dorsal columns: physiological and anatomical data prove its location to be in the spinothalamic tract. Previous contrasting results on the topic are discussed.
