Direct nerve stimulation for BsM and PcM

For direct nerve stimulation, the BsN and PcN were identified by their direct anatomical innervation to the BsM and PcM, respectively. The BsN, for example, was found lateral to the clitoralis nerve and the terminal nerve endings were observed innervating the BsM. Both nerves, BsN and PcN, were surgically exposed using blunt microdissection scissors and glass rods. Hooked tungsten wire electrodes were implanted in the BsN (n = 2) and the PcN (n = 2) and secured in place using a sealant (Kwik-Cast Silicone Sealant, World Precision Instruments). In addition, a wired neural stimulator (wired NeuroClip, RBI) was implanted directly in the BsN (n = 1).

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
