In order to define the precise locations of pre-central and postcentral gyri during neurosurgicaloperations, somatosensory evoked potentials to contralateral median nerve stimulation were re-corded from the cerebral cortex in 19 cases with organic cerebral lesions which located near the central sulcus.

In addition to that, distribution patterns of early components of SEPs were displayed by Nihonkoden Atac 450 in 3 cases who had bone defects after wide decompressive craniectomy but were without any sensory disturbances

In 4 cases, in whom deep electrodes were in-serted for the streotaxic operations or other rea-sons, frontal subcortical SEPs were recorded in order to know the origins of frontal components of SEPs.

From the parietal cortex, N 19, P 22 and P 23 were observed. And from the frontal cortex, P 20 and N 25 were obtained. Their average peak la-tencies were as follows;

N 19…19.4±1.2 ms. P22…22.5±2.2ms.

P 23…23.7±3.0 ms. P 20…20.1±1.2 ms.

N 25…25.1±3.2 ms.

Because all subjects had organic lesion in the brain, the peak latencies were a little bit longer, and their standard deviations were larger than those in normal cases.

Usually, clear-cut phase reversal could be ob-served between N 19 and P 20 across the central sulcus. So, the precentral and postcentral gyri were easily identified during the operations. N 19 and P 23 appeared over the wide areas of the parietal cortex. Also, P 20 and N 25 were recorded almost whole areas of the frontal cortex. On the other hand, P 22 appeared from relatively restrict-ed part of the postcentral gyrus where sensory hand area might have been located.

Depth recording from the frontal subcortical area revealed that P 20 could be recorded from the bilateral frontal subcortical areas and there observed no phase reversal between the cortical and subcortical SEPs.

These results indicate that N 19 from the parietal and P 20 from the frontal cortex may be generated by the horizontal dipole located at the posterior bank of the central sulcus and that distribution pattern of P 20 can be compatible with that of far field potential like N 16. While, P 22 is thought to be originated by the vertical dipole at the crown of the postcentral gyrus.
