ABSTRACT
Compound muscle action potential (CMAP) recordings provide a sensitive electromyographic approach to measure nerve conduction and assess neuromuscular junction functionality in humans and rodents. In humans, it represents a diagnostic tool for neuromuscular disorders. In rodents, this approach is widely employed to dissect the molecular mechanisms driving peripheral nerve degeneration/regeneration, as well as to evaluate the effect of candidate pro-regenerative compounds. The method described here allows recording CMAP from the gastrocnemius muscle of mice after sciatic nerve stimulation. We report some representative traces of CMAP recorded from adult, healthy mice, after sciatic nerve compression and during neurotransmission recovery stimulated by melatonin administration.
