TL;DR
The hypothesis of a “central diabetic neuropathy” is confirmed and central sensory pathways involvement, not related to peripheral impairment, could play a role in the pathogenesis of erectile dysfunction in diabetic patients.
Abstract
Our data might suggest that altered conduction along CNS and somatic peripheral neuropathy might develop independently. We confirm the hypothesis of a "central diabetic neuropathy" and suggest that central sensory pathways involvement, not related to peripheral impairment, could play a role in the pathogenesis of erectile dysfunction in diabetic patients.

The distribution and latency of the initial positive potential is different from that of scalp-recorded somatomotor responses and favors an intracranial origin and, with its positive polarity and short latency, would be compatible with a response originating in subcortical regions.
