Classic Clinical Technique Adapted to Demonstrate Autonomic Nervous System Physiology in an Undergraduate Laboratory Course

The sympathetic skin response can be measured across the hands and feet with a simple bio amplifier. Controlled by the sympathetic nervous system, this response results from the activation of the eccrine sweat glands by many types of stimuli. This classical clinical test is used to evaluate peripher...

description The sympathetic skin response can be measured across the hands and feet with a simple bio amplifier. Controlled by the sympathetic nervous system, this response results from the activation of the eccrine sweat glands by many types of stimuli. This classical clinical test is used to evaluate peripheral neuropathies caused by a wide range of diseases, and can easily be adapted to teach a range of physiology applicable to neuroscience curricula.
