This communication reports the effect of alphaxalone on motor somatosensory evoked potential (SEPs) in a rhesus macaque. The animal was deeply anaesthetised with an infusion of ketamine, medetomidine, midazolam and alfentanil. The median nerve was stimulated, and SEPs were recorded from the motor cortex. The successive administration of three doses of alphaxalone (0.5, 1 and 2 mg/kg) induced an increase of the latency time and a decrease of the amplitude of the SEPs. However, the structure of the waveforms was conserved, and hence alphaxalone might represent a suitable general anaesthetic option in neuroscience research as well as veterinary or human medicine.

D009044 Motor Cortex Area of the FRONTAL LOBE concerned with primary motor control located in the dorsal PRECENTRAL GYRUS immediately anterior to the central sulcus. It is comprised of three areas: the primary motor cortex located on the anterior paracentral lobule on the medial surface of the brain; the premotor cortex located anterior to the primary motor cortex; and the supplementary motor area located on the midline surface of the hemisphere anterior to the primary motor cortex.
