Treatment of high numbers of brain metastases with Gamma Knife radiosurgery: a review.

abstract：:Changes in vestibulospinal evoked potentials (VsEP) and motor evoked potentials (MEP) were examined in 10 cats before and after two different weight-dropping spinal cord injuries. In six animals somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP) were also monitored. The recordings were done from epidural spinal cord electrodes. Be...
