<p class="jove_content">Here, we present a method for assessing the activation and block of sensory axons in peripheral nerves in acute, anesthetized, <em>in vivo</em> rat experiments using two types of spinal electrophysiological measurements that can discriminate the activity of nerve fiber subtypes: Local Field Potentials and Wide Dynamic Range single neuron recordings.</p>

Electrophysiological Methods to Assess Peripheral Pain Block in an Anesthetized Rat

In vivo electrophysiological recordings from the lumbar region of the rat spine can be used to study the activation of sensory neural signals in the ...
