Abstract:
A practical and easily applicable method of recording cortical potentials evoked by bipolar electrical stimulation of the bladder wall is described. This constitutes an objective electrophysiological test of afferent bladder central projections. Comparison of bipolar and monopolar methods of intravesical stimulation led to the conclusion that the simpler monopolar intravesical electrode technique is unsuitable because it yields potentials contaminated by extravesical components.
