Figure 4. Stimulus pattern affects reflex suppression.

Figure 4

Urethral reflex suppression was dependent on stimulus pattern. Only (.75 ON .25 OFF, 20 Hz) patterned stimulation was effective in both responder animals. Increasing duty cycle led to progressive reductions in spike rate Rur and amplitude Pur. 20 Hz continuous stimulation was effective only in animal 1. Data are normalized to the baseline control evoked urethral activity Pur and Rur. EUS reflex spike rate (Rur) is shown on the left axis (■). EUS reflex spike amplitude is shown on the right axis (▲). Data from animal 1 (black symbols, location [S]) and animal 2 (gray symbols, location [5]) are shown separately for each stimulation pattern. The number of trials (n) is shown for each location. *P<.05; ** P<.01.
