Abstract
In this investigation, the waveforms of single unit discharges recorded with tungsten microelectrodes in human median nerve fascicles were examined. Large biphasic potentials with a dominant positive phase probably derived from fibres impaled by the electrode tip. Complex potentials with notches and other irregularities in the potential form were ascribed to more pronounced single nerve fibre damage. Although nerve fibres are commonly injured in the course of microneurographic examinations, no permanent symptoms of neuropathy have as yet been observed.
