In vivo thresholds to evoke reflex EAS activation by intraurethral stimulation. (A) Stimulation thresholds for evoking an EAS reflex response in 11 cats with 1 mm or 2 mm ring electrodes. Inset: Reflex EAS EMG responses evoked by 1 Hz, 6 mA IES at 1 cm from the urethral meatus. (B) Normalized intensity thresholds were dependent on stimulation location (p < 0.001, one-way ANOVA), and stimulation at 2 and 3 cm required significantly higher thresholds to evoke an EAS reflex response than stimulation at all other locations (p < 0.05, Bonferroni post-hoc comparisons).
