TLDR
Peripheral, spinal and cortical somatosensory evoked potentials were recorded in patients with unilateral traction injuries of the brachial plexus ganglia and the recordings correctly anticipated the major site of the lesion in eight cases.
Abstract
Peripheral, spinal and cortical somatosensory evoked potentials were recorded in 26 patients with unilateral traction injuries of the brachial plexus ganglia. Of 10 cases explored surgically the recordings correctly anticipated the major site of the lesion in eight.

Brainstem auditory and, shortrlatency somatosensory evoked responses in brain death

TL;DR: Testing with brainstem auditory and short-latency somatosensory evoked resonses suggests that the SER has greater clinical utility in the brain-death setting, because it is important to have a wave present that establishes that the input signal has reached the central nervous system.

Pain in avulsion lesions of the brachial plexus

TL;DR: There remains a significant number of young men with severe pain who may expect to suffer such pain indefinitely and there is urgent need for new methods to be developed to control this pain.

Neural generators of N18 and P14 far-field somatosensory evoked potentials studied in patients with lesion of thalamus or thalamo-cortical radiations

TL;DR: It is proposed that N18 reflects several deeply located generators in brain stem and/or thalamus whereas N20 represents the earliest cortical response of the contralateral post-central receiving areas.

Somatosensory evoked potentials in healthy subjects and in patients with lesions of the nervous system.

TL;DR: Observations on somatosensory evoked potentials in 35 healthy subjects, recorded by Dawson’s methods, as well as results in 56 patients of the National Hospital, Queen Square, London, in whom evoked possibles were investigated during 1958 to 1960 are reported.

Cerebral responses to electrical stimulation of peripheral nerve in man.

TL;DR: Fifty responses to stimulation of the left ulnar nerve at the wrist are shown, superimposed, and the deflection produced in each channel by a potential difference of 20 pNV is shown.

The scalp topography of human somatosensory and auditory evoked potentials.

TL;DR: The waveform and topography of components of the scalp recorded somatosensory evoked poal (AEP) to click stimulation of the right ear, were determined and should aid in predicting SEP and AEP characteristics and in assessing myogenic distortion of neurogenic components.
Journal ArticleDOI

Short latency potentials recorded from the neck and scalp following median nerve stimulation in man.

TL;DR: Comparison with intrathecal recordings in man lends support to the view that N11 and N13 are generated in or adjacent to the spinal cord, and it is hoped the findings may extend the clinical applications of a non-invasive technique for investigating the afferent sensory pathways in man.
Journal ArticleDOI

Spinal evoked response: peripheral nerve stimulation in man.

TL;DR: In 3 patients with spinal cord lesions clinically judged to be complete, responses caudal to the lesion were similar to those recorded in normal subjects, consistent with the interpretation that these potentials arise in the dorsal roots of the cauda equina and in spinal cord afferent pathways.
