Positive sharp wave origin: evidence supporting the electrode initiation hypothesis.

abstract：:The superficial peroneal nerve subserves sensation on the entire surface of the dorsum of the foot, except in small areas. All previously reported techniques for evaluating nerve conduction along this nerve tested a proximal portion of the nerve. We report a new method for evaluating sensory nerve conduction of the fo...

abstract：:The latency fluctuation of single motor unit potentials (MUPH) in the H-reflex is greater than the latency fluctuation of MUPs in the direct (MUPM) and recurrent (MUPF) responses. This has been attributed to the variability in the impulse generation at the site of nerve stimulation, and to the variation in the synapti...
