Interactions of human cord dorsum potential

K. Shimoji, M. Matsuki, Y. Ito, K. Masuko, M. Maruyama, T. Iwane and S. Aida

The slow positive wave (P2 wave) of the evoked spinal electrogram was recorded from the posterior epidural space in wakeful man, and studied by applying several modes of peripheral nerve stimulation. With graded stimulation the P2 wave amplitude rapidly reached the maximum at weaker stimulation than that required for the initially positive spikes (P1) and the preceding negative (N1) wave. The "second" component of the P2 appeared during stronger stimulation or during excitemenpt of the subjects. With prolonged repetitive stimulation the P2 wave increased its duration with several summits on the decaying phase. Two interactions were observed between the P2 waves produced by conditioning and testing stimulations in the same or different nerves: inhibition or occlusion by strong stimulation and faciliation by weak stimulation. Thus, the characteristic of the P2 wave in man was similar in part to that of the positive wave observed in decerebrate animals, and differnt in other ways presumably due to influences from supraspinal structures or species differences.
