ELECTROMYOGRAM OF THE ALIMENTARY TRACT BY CHRONICALLY IMPLANTED BIPOLAR ELECTRODES

Response of brain tissue to chronically implanted neural electrodes.

Chronically implanted recording electrode arrays linked to prosthetics have the potential to make positive impacts on patients suffering from full or partial paralysis. Such arrays are implanted into the patient's cortical tissue and record extracellular potentials from nearby neurons, allowing the information encoded by the neuronal discharges to control external devices. While such systems pe...

Stability of the input-output properties of chronically implanted multiple contact nerve cuff stimulating electrodes.

The objective of this investigation was to measure the input-output (I-O) properties of chronically implanted nerve cuff electrodes. Silicone rubber spiral nerve cuff electrodes, containing 12 individual platinum electrode contacts, were implanted on the sciatic nerve of seven adult cats for 28-34 weeks. Measurements of the torque generated at the ankle joint by electrical stimulation of the sc...

Diseases of the Alimentary Tract

(Pp. xiii + 411; figs. 60. 60s.) London: William Heinemann Medical Books, 1963. THE appearance of this book is an important event. There has not been for many years a standard British textbook of gastroenterology, and recent attempts to supply one have not been so successful as one could have wished. The authoritative and massive three-volume work of Bockus is the stand-by of every gastroentero...
