Abstract
Muscle potentials evoked by proximal and distal tibial nerve stimulation were evaluated and used to calculate motor nerve conduction velocity in 65 chickens. Two potentials analogous to the M and F waves recorded in persons consistently were evoked. The mean tibial motor nerve conduction velocity .+-. SD of the birds was 32.3 .+-. 4.0 m/s. This value varied significantly (P < 0.05) with both age and cloacal temperature.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
