Figure 3A shows the position of the electrodes (<translate>Figure</translate> 12A); the maximum current will spread under the cathodes (red in colour) in the parietal cortex (Figure 3B); in the cranial cortex region, near the trigeminal motor root, the current density is of low magnitude (<translate>Figure</translate> 3C, black arrows). Figure 3D shows the current density that spreads in the brain tissue. It underlines the least amount of electrical current within the brain tissue necessary to saturate the trigeminal motor (relative to the amount required to evoke a response of the trigeminal motor cortex under the cathode). This is one of the reasons that urged us to choose this kind of evoked response (absolutely peripheral) rather than the cortical one (with higher threshold, lower stability, and less focus). | <translate>Figure 3A shows the position of the electrodes</translate> (<translate>Figure</translate> 12A); <translate>the maximum current will spread under the cathodes (red in colour) in the parietal cortex</translate> (<translate>Figure</translate> 3B); <translate>in the cranial cortex region, near the trigeminal motor root, the current density is of low magnitude</translate> (<translate>Figure</translate> 3C, <translate>black arrows</translate>). <translate>Figure 3D shows the current density that spreads in the brain tissue</translate>. <translate>It underlines the least amount of electrical current within the brain tissue necessary to saturate the trigeminal motor (relative to the amount required to evoke a response of the trigeminal motor cortex under the cathode)</translate>. <translate>This is one of the reasons that urged us to choose this kind of evoked response (absolutely peripheral) rather than the cortical one</translate> (<translate>with higher threshold, lower stability, and less focus</translate>). | ||
