    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Physiology

    Context:

    • Establishing normative electrophysiological values is crucial for preclinical research.
    • Wistar rats are a common model organism in neuroscience studies.

    Purpose:

    • To measure orthodromic sensory nerve conduction velocity in rat tail nerves.
    • To determine spinal and cortical somatosensory evoked potentials.
    • To compare electrophysiological values between male and female Wistar rats.

    Summary:

    • Orthodromic sensory nerve conduction velocity was assessed in Wistar rat tail nerves.
    • Spinal and cortical somatosensory evoked potentials were recorded following stimulation of the tail, lower limb, hind paw, and fore paw.
    • Normal values were established and compared with those obtained from upper limb stimulation, with sex-based differences discussed.

    Impact:

    • Provides essential normative electrophysiological data for Wistar rats.
    • Facilitates the interpretation of neurophysiological changes in experimental models.
    • Contributes to understanding sex-based differences in nerve conduction and evoked potentials.
