✓ In the barbiturate-anesthetized cat, spinal cord function was estimated using averaged cortical evoked potentials (CEP) elicited by stimulating the posterior tibial nerve. Although neither spinal cord compression nor an aortic blood pressure one-half the systemic pressure when applied individually blocked the CEP, these same factors when applied in combination produced reversible block of the CEP.
