Motor and Somatosensory Evoked Potential Monitoring Without Wakeup Test during Scoliosis Surgery [PDF]
Background: Available evidence suggests that Transcranial electric motor evoked potentials and somatosensory evoked potential are safe methods to check the integrity of the spinal cord during spine deformity correction surgery. We compare the efficacy of

No reduction in motor-evoked potential amplitude during the rubber hand illusion. [PDF]
Introduction: In the rubber hand illusion (RHI), touches are applied to a fake hand at the same time as touches are applied to a participant's real hand that is hidden in a congruent position. Synchronous (but not asynchronous) tactile stimulation of the

5-HT<sub>2</sub> antagonism indirectly increases motor unit discharge rate and cervicomedullary motor evoked potential amplitude during submaximal elbow flexions. [PDF]
Spinal motoneurone excitability is heavily regulated by serotonin via somatodendritic 5-HT2 receptors. However, the effects of these receptors on the excitability of motoneurones in the upper limb are not clearly understood.

Background Motor recovery following a stroke is related to the initial stroke severity and corticospinal tract integrity. One of the outcomes representing corticospinal tract integrity is the motor evoked potential (MEP).

The steady-state visual evoked potential in vision research : a review [PDF]
Periodic visual stimulation and analysis of the resulting steady-state visual evoked potentials were first introduced over 80 years ago as a means to study visual sensation and perception. From the first single-channel recording of responses to modulated

Background It is believed that ketamine does not affect motor-evoked potential amplitude, whereas various anesthetic drugs attenuate the amplitude of transcranial motor-evoked potential.

Monitoring cortical excitability during repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation in children with ADHD: a single-blind, sham-controlled TMS-EEG study [PDF]
Background: Repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) allows non-invasive stimulation of the human brain. However, no suitable marker has yet been established to monitor the immediate rTMS effects on cortical areas in children.

Role of intraoperative neuromonitoring in spine surgery: A retrospective study
Background: Iatrogenic neurological injury resulting during surgical intervention is a devastating complication not only for patient but also for the operating surgeon. Even with best efforts, the risk remains approximately 5%.
