    Objective: To investigate the P18 component in the posterior to anterior neck montage after median nerve stimulation. Methods: Somatosensory evoked potentials, through electrical wrist stimulation, were collected. In 12 subjects, the presence of the P18 component was evaluated in the posterior to anterior neck montage. In 10 subjects, the effects of stimulation vibration of the hand were evaluated. In five subjects, responses after double-pulse stimulation (ISI 20 ms) were evaluated. Results: The component P18 was identified in all subjects. Vibration reduced the amplitude of all components except the P18 and N18. Double-pulse stimulation reduced the amplitude of the P18 and the N18 components without significantly changing the amplitude of the others components. Conclusions: The posterior to anterior neck montage allows for recording the P18 component. The amplitude reduction of all components during vibration, exceptN18 and P18, is interpreted as reflecting inhibitory activities at the cuneiform nucleus and the segmental dorsal horn of the spinal cord, respectively. The reduction in the P18 component after double-pulse stimulation is compatible with previous observations on the positive component of cord dorsum potentials. Significance: Studying this component may add to the knowledge of function of the spinal cord in humans.

    The N18 component of the median nerve SEP is not reduced by vibration
    (Elsevier B.V., 1998-09-01) Manzano, G. M.; Negrao, N.; Nobrega, JAM; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP); Universidade de São Paulo (USP)
    Objective: To study the interference of mechanical vibration of the palm of the hand on the median nerve short-latency SEP components.Methods: Electrically-elicited short-latency median nerve SEP were obtained before and during mechanical vibration (120 Hz) of the palm in two groups of normal individuals (6 in group I and 9 in group II). the amplitude of the different components was compared between the two conditions through non-parametric statistical tests.Results: A significant reduction in the amplitude of the N9, P13/14 and N20 components was detected, however no overall significant changes were detected for the N18 component.Conclusions: Vibration interference reduced all studied components except the N18. these findings are interpreted as supporting evidence fur the proposed association between the N18 component and the inhibitory activities elicited in the dorsal column nuclei.
