Pithed means to remove the pith from the spinal cord, effectively paralyzing and most likely killing the organism. This technique is used many times with frogs to assure the subject is brain dead before tests can be run on nerves. They are terminated before the beginning of the experiment to have fresh nerves to run compound action potential tests on.
