SLN injury has substantial consequences including altered sensation, aspiration, and dysphonia. To date, in vivo measurement of the SLN remains elusive. The purpose of this study was to assess the feasibility of recording motor and sensory evoked potentials in a rat SLN model.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>Twenty\u2010two rat hemi\u2010laryngeal preparations (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200911) were obtained from 4\u2010month\u2010old Sprague\u2013Dawley rats and included in this study. Compound motor action potentials (CMAPs) and motor unit number estimation (MUNE) were calculated by stimulating the SLN at the point of medial extension near the carotid artery and by placing a recording electrode on the cricothyroid muscle. Sensory response was determined through stimulation of the SLN and laryngoscopic visualization of a laryngeal adductor reflex (LAR). SLN and cricothyroid muscle cross\u2010sections were stained and histologic morphometrics were quantified.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Laryngeal evoked potentials were successfully obtained in all trials.

LAR was induced with a mean intensity of 0.69\u2009\u00b1\u20090.20\u2009mV. Mean axon count, myelin thickness, and g\u2010ratio were 681\u2009\u00b1\u2009192.2, 1.72\u2009\u00b1\u20090.26, and 0.45\u2009\u00b1\u20090.04, respectively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>This study demonstrates the feasibility of recording evoked response potentials following SLN stimulation.
