Post-natal Changes in the Somaesthetic Evoked Potentials in the Albino Rat

Nature New Biology volume 231, pages 30–31 (1971)Cite this article

Abstract

THE evoked potential is a useful tool in the study of brain development1–3 although the underlying mechanism has not been explained conclusively. The post-natal changes in the evoked potential should throw some more light on this subject, and to my knowledge there has not so far been a study of the somaesthetic evoked responses on rats younger than 6 days. My results differ from those of Schapiro et al.2 where the ages correspond.
