The effect of tourniquet-induced ischemia on somatically evoked cerebral magnetic fields in man. 1985

R Hari, and A Pertovaara, and P Kemppainen, and J Salminen

We recorded somatically evoked magnetic fields (SEFs) during tourniquet-induced ischemia in healthy humans. The subjective intensities of the stimuli decreased earlier and more clearly than the amplitudes of the SEF deflections peaking at 60-80 ms. Mixed nerve and sensory nerve responses behaved differently during ischemia. The results indicate that these SEF deflections are transmitted through thick myelinated fibers. Muscle afferents might contribute considerably to mixed nerve SEFs.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007511 Ischemia A hypoperfusion of the BLOOD through an organ or tissue caused by a PATHOLOGIC CONSTRICTION or obstruction of its BLOOD VESSELS, or an absence of BLOOD CIRCULATION. Ischemias
D008297 Male Males
D008475 Median Nerve A major nerve of the upper extremity. In humans, the fibers of the median nerve originate in the lower cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord (usually C6 to T1), travel via the brachial plexus, and supply sensory and motor innervation to parts of the forearm and hand. Median Nerves,Nerve, Median,Nerves, Median
D011826 Radial Nerve A major nerve of the upper extremity. In humans the fibers of the radial nerve originate in the lower cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord (usually C5 to T1), travel via the posterior cord of the brachial plexus, and supply motor innervation to extensor muscles of the arm and cutaneous sensory fibers to extensor regions of the arm and hand.
