In normal mice, the threshold for stimulation, maximum amplitude, duration and conduction velocity of all the three components of the compound action potential were measured. Progressive changes were noted in amplitude and the threshold for stimulations of the unmyelinated fibre ('C' fibres) potentials. These changes were compared with the changes observed in the myelinated fibre potentials.</p>  a0024-1024
