Bladder and bowel responses to lumbosacral epidural stimulation in uninjured and transected anesthetized rats

Abstract Spinal cord epidural stimulation (scES) mapping at L5-S1 was performed to identify parameters for bladder and bowel inhibition and/or contraction. Using spinally intact and chronic transected rats of both sexes in acute urethane-anesthetized terminal preparations, scES was systematically ap...
