Neurology of micturition

J Urol. 1976 May;115(5):481-6. doi: 10.1016/s0022-5347(17)59250-2.

Abstract

The understanding, diagnosis and management of neurologic dysfunction of the bladder have undergone considerable changes during the last 2 decades. These changes were the result of animal experimentation into physiology and pharmacology and the accelerated use of biomedical engineering technology. The implementation of these advances will require physician re-education in the neurology of micturition.
