Abstract

In this study, the extracellular and suction techniques, used widely to record compound action Potentials (CAP), were compared in respect to their ability to deduce fiber diameter distribution (FDD). Fiber. diameter distribution derived by applying the deconvolution model to CAP depends not only on the modeling but also on the recording techniques. The FDDs determined by these two techniques were compared with that predicted by histological means. In our model study, a waveform for single fiber action potential (SFAP) was defined as
