Direct current-generated magnetic fields (2ยฑ3 mT, 20-min exposure) exerted biphasic effects on the population spike recorded from hippocampal slices. The initial decrease in the potential, observed during exposure of the slices to magnetic fields was followed by a recovery/amplification phase, which

โฆ Synopsis
Successive magnetic evoked potentials (MEPs) concern varying motor neurons. We investigated whether this MEP-specific source of variability depends on electrode site and size. Amplitude variability (standard deviation) was largest over the center of the hypothenar muscles. Latencies were longer at distal and proximal sites than at the center site. Large electrodes (10 cm 2 ) did not decrease this source of amplitude variability compared with EEG electrodes, in contrast to other sources of variability.

Peroneal and tibial compound motor action potentials (CMAP) recorded using the standard belly-tendon montage have different configurations. The peroneal CMAP is a smooth dome shape, while the tibial CMAP has a slow-rising initial component followed by a higher amplitude negative peak. To evaluate po
