Noninvasive Evaluation of Nerve Conduction in Small Diameter Fibers in the Rat

Figure 2

Representative traces of evoked potentials (a) and MUA (b) of a digital nerve are displayed as a function of intensity of stimulation. Numbers in the middle represent duration of the stimulus (ms) and intensity of constant current (mA). In (b), all recordings were done at constant current of 15 mA, and response of fast conduction is left out of scale (initial 5 ms after start of stimulation). Here and in the following figures, timescale is given in milliseconds and calibration is given in microvolts. Vertical dash lines indicate latencies for the marked NCV (m/s). Horizontal dash lines denote the level of activity in prestimuli interval.
