Evoked potentials elicited on the cerebellar cortex by electrical stimulation of the rat spinocerebellar tract

Reproducible SCEP was recorded from the rat cerebellar hemisphere by electrical stimulation of the quadriceps femoris muscle. We posit that the SCEP differs from the SSEP, which ascends via the dorsal column, and that it is conducted by the dorsal SCT located in the Inf-CPed. Our results suggest that it may be possible to detect the dysfunction of the Inf-CPed electrophysiologically by using SCEP.
