  • Abstract
    The use of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) to produce motor evoked potentials (MEPs) was examined in primates anesthetized with different anesthetic agents including nitrous oxide, thiamylal sodium, and ketamine. Reproducible upper and lower limb MEP responses were recorded in all animals following TMS using an average mean field of 0.75-0.9 T. Nitrous oxide and ketamine maintained the MEP responses, whereas thiamylal abolished them. The technique is reportedly safe, simple, and efficacious in the primate model
