There is increasing interest in using mouse models for electrodiagnostic research. Studying transgenic mice with various pathologies, add to our knowledge of the natural history of a disease. It is imperative, however, to compare disease models to the appropriate control. Therefore, in order for these animals to be used in electrodiagnostic research, reference values must be set. If reference values are not available, the validity of data is highly questionable. We propose a method of obtaining mixed nerve action potentials and collect reference values from the sural nerve of mice. The results were a mean peak latency of 1.74 ms on the right and 1.89 ms on the left. The mean amplitude was 17.0 μV on the left and 21.6 μV on the right. In future studies, these reference values can be useful tools in analysis of murine subjects.
