Evoked Spinal Cord Potentials An illustrated Guide to Physiology, Pharmocology, and Recording Techniques

Techniques using evoked spinal cord potentials (SCPs) have become important clinical tools for monitoring spinal cord surgery and diagnosing spinal cord diseases. This book surveys the neurophysiological and neuropharmacological bases of evoked SCPs with reference to animal studies and to recording...
