Abstract
â¶ A novel multi-limb acquisition of MEP in rats demonstrated that Isoflurane (gas) anesthesia severely suppresses MEP; while Ketamine (IP) anesthesia may not. â¶ A comparison of two existing modes of stimulation showed that low frequency stimulation of motor cortex invokes more reliable and less variable MEP. â¶ The novel set-up can be an important tool in development of rat models of nervous system injuries such as spinal cord injury, brain injury, multiple sclerosis etc.
