The effect of sciatic nerve stimulation on spinal cord blood flow. 1978

A I Kobrine, and D E Evans, and H V Rizzoli

Focal spinal cord blood flow was measured in the left dorsal column during left sciatic nerve stimulation, and compared to blood flow in the same area during sciatic nerve inactivity. Blood flow was found to be significantly increased during stimulation. It is suggested that this increased blood flow is a reflection of increased metabolic demands of the neurons and synaptic systems within the internuncial neural pools, activated by stimulation of all components of the sciatic nerve, rather than a reflection of increased non-synaptic axonal conduction in the dorsal column.

D005071 Evoked Potentials Electrical responses recorded from nerve, muscle, SENSORY RECEPTOR, or area of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM following stimulation. They range from less than a microvolt to several microvolts. The evoked potential can be auditory (EVOKED POTENTIALS, AUDITORY), somatosensory (EVOKED POTENTIALS, SOMATOSENSORY), visual (EVOKED POTENTIALS, VISUAL), or motor (EVOKED POTENTIALS, MOTOR), or other modalities that have been reported.
