Average reference recording from the vagal nerve reveals an evoked indirect response

The vagal nerve conveys information from and to many organs. The components of the compound action potentials (CAPs) recorded from the vagal nerve give information about the different fiber types present. In this paper, we show that with the average reference recording method an additional component...

Description
Summary:The vagal nerve conveys information from and to many organs. The components of the compound action potentials (CAPs) recorded from the vagal nerve give information about the different fiber types present. In this paper, we show that with the average reference recording method an additional component can be measured. This component is missed when using a tripolar recording method. Recordings were made in anesthetized pigs. Results show that there is an indirect component in the CAP of the cervical vagal nerve. This component comes from the periphery, possibly from the heart.
