The Role of Transcranial Motor Evoked Potentials in Predicting Neurologic and Histopathologic Outcome after Experimental Spinal Cord Ischemia

BackgroundMonitoring of myogenic motor evoked potentials to transcranial stimulation (tcMEPs) is clinically used to assess motor pathway function during aortic and spinal procedures that carry a risk of spinal cord ischemia (SCI). Although tcMEPs presumably detect SCI before irreversible neuronal de
