Pre-movement gating of short-latency somatosensory evoked potentials.

Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) are reduced in amplitude during movement (gating). The mechanism involves central gating of afferent input and competition from other afferents activated by the movement. We distinguished these two by giving 11 normal subjects a warning sound followed 1 s later by an electric stimulus to the right median nerve at the wrist. The latter served both as a cue to start a finger movement and as stimulation to evoke SEPs. Gating effects were widespread in frontal (N30) and central (N60) areas, but were also seen, albeit to a lesser extent, in the recordings at P3 (P30). Since finger movement began after the stimulus, such gating must have been purely central in origin, presumably reflecting motor preparation.
