| Summary: | The authors' comprehensive overview of recent advances in spinal cord monitoring and electrodiagnosis serves three objectives: - It provides an understanding of spinal cord neuro- physiology and neuropharmacology. This knowledge may lead to a new method to study basic human spinal cord function. - It provides information vital for the prevention of spinal cord damage during spine or spinal cord surgery. - It provides insight into electrodiagnosis of spinal cord diseases. This may be the first objective method to directly measure spinal cord function in pathological conditions. The basic topics covered are: spinal cord physiology and pharmacology; the pathophysiology of spinal cord (compression and ischemic) injuries; spinal cord evoked potentials in response to electrical and magnetic stimulations; recording techniques of spinal cord evoked potentials; spoinal cord monitoring during surgery; and electrodiagnosis of spinal cord diseases. |
