Claim 4:
5. A method for treatment of a nervous system, the method comprising:
inserting a flexible catheter into a cerebrospinal fluid space, the flexible catheter including two lumens adapted to allow a fluid to circulate therein in a closed loop within the flexible catheter, and the flexible catheter being adapted to be connected to a device for cooling and circulating the fluid;
cooling cerebrospinal fluid in the cerebrospinal fluid space with the flexible catheter to enable selective nervous system cooling;
monitoring a functional status of thoracic spinal cord evoked potentials of the nervous system;
monitoring a functional status of cervical spinal cord evoked potentials of the nervous system; and
modifying the treatment of the nervous system to adjust for any change in the functional status of the thoracic spinal cord evoked potentials of the nervous system relative to the functional status of the cervical spinal cord evoked potentials of the nervous system.
