| Type | MGI:General | Description | single stimuli to peripheral nerves evokes repetitive compound muscle action potentials (CMAP) in gastrocnemius muscle unlike in controls which show a single action potential; the repetitive firing of action potentials is caused by prolongation of the endplate potential beyond the muscle fiber refractory period repetitive nerve stimulation at rates from 2 to 10 Hz over intrinsic muscles of the hindpaws elicit decremental compound muscle action potentials compared to controls that stay at a constant amplitude |
