Non-invasive measurement of trigeminal nerve somatosensory evoked potentials
… enigmatic to substantiate clinically. Trigeminal somatosensory evoked potentials (TSEPs) were posited as an indicator of trigeminal nerve conduction damage resulting from whiplash. Alternating polarity square-wave current stimuli were applied transcutaneously in the facial region. 379 recorded …

Electrophysiologic detection of the neurotoxic effects of acrylamide and 2,5-hexanedione in rats
Brain stem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP) and somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP), recorded from subcutaneously placed electrodes in anesthetized rats, were used to detect the neurotoxic effects of acrylamide and 2,5-hexanedione. Sixty adult male rats were equally divided into four groups: …

Assessing neurophysiological and behavioural outcomes of the proximal upper limb muscles in response to novel motor skill acquisition
… changes in neural activity, measured using somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) following a single session of motor training session with the proximal upper limb task. Additionally, sex-based differences in motor task performance were seen for the proximal upper-limb task, indicating a …

The effects of forward head posture on sensorimotor integration and neck and shoulder proprioception
… compared to individuals without. Study 2, used somatosensory evoked potentials to measure cortical activity related to sensorimotor integration following a motor learning task. This study was the first to report differential changes to SEP peak amplitudes in response to acute alterations in …

Investigation of the Clinical Utility of the Spatio-Spectral Dynamics of Sensorimotor ECoG in Response to Different Somatosensory Stimulation Modalities in Human Subjects
… visual assessment of the phase reversal of the somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) is employed to delineate the central sulcus (CS). However, proper assessment of the phase reversal in the SSEP waveform is challenging due to the variations in the waveform morphology across subjects and the …
