  • Title: Widespread N18 in median nerve SEP is preserved in a pontine lesion.
    Author: Sonoo M, Sakuta M, Shimpo T, Genba K, Mannen T.
    Journal: Electroencephalogr Clin Neurophysiol; 1991; 80(3):238-40. PubMed ID: 1713155.
    Abstract:
    Widespread N18 potential to median nerve stimulation was preserved in a patient who had profound unilateral disturbance of deep sensation and a lesion of the pontine medial lemniscus confirmed by MRI. It was concluded from this result that at least a significant part of the N18 potential was generated caudal to the pontine level or at higher levels via extralemniscal pathways. Careful review of studies in man with intraoperative recordings seemed to support that the N18 potential already exists at the medullary level. We suggested that the potential generated at the cuneate nucleus which was described in cats may correspond to part of the N18 potential.
