The second somatosensory area (SlI) has been studied both by electrical evoked potentials24 and magnetoencephalography (MEG)5 Magnetic evoked fields of contralateral primary somatosensory and ipsilateral second somatosensory cortices of 12 normal subjects were recorded in response to median nerve electrical stimulation by means of a single magnetometer. We detected. in addition to the usua...

Knowing the hearing range and sensitivity of a marine mammal is fundamental to determining its potential for being impacted by ocean noise. Enabling stranding responders perform tests on stranded odontocetes most likely means which odontocete species will be tested population-level variability in determined. A portable auditory evoked (AEP) system was modified use response teams optimised test ...

objective(s):to determine the effect of acetylcholine (ach), pilocarpine, and atropine on pain evoked responses of pain excited neurons (pen) and pain inhibited neurons (pin) in hippocampal ca3 region of morphine addicted rats. materials and methods:female wistar rats, weighing between 230-260 g were used in this study. morphine addicted rats were generated by subcutaneous injection of increasi...

This paper provides the first detailed description of the time courses of light-evoked pupillary constriction for two species of cephalopods, Sepia officinalis (a cuttlefish) and Eledone cirrhosa (an octopus). The responses are much faster than hitherto reported, full contraction in Sepia taking less than 1 s, indicating it is among the most rapid pupillary responses in the animal kingdom. We a...

Percutaneous electrical stimuli (up to 600 V) were applied over the cervical spinal cord to evoke responses in the biceps brachii and thenar muscles. Cathodal stimulation over the C7 spinous process was more effective than anodal stimulation or stimulation over the C5 or C3 spinous process. As the stimulus intensity was increased, the response amplitude increased and the latency decreased. When...

For the recording of gustatory evoked responses, the tip of a stimulator is pressed vertically on one side of the tongue until the trigger pulses are generated by a switch attached to the bottom of the stimulator. According to our results, no detectable response was observed in the absence of taste. The positive waves were distinguishable by using the technique of superimposition before averagi...

The association between contralateral stimulation and evoked otoacoustic emissions (EOAEs) allows study of sound-evoked olivocochlear feedback and then of the medial olivocochlear system. A method allowing quantification of sound-evoked olivocochlear feedback is proposed. The feedback is present in almost all normal-hearing subjects, but with great interindividual variability. In sensorineural ...
