  • Title: Amplitude asymmetry of hemifield pattern reversal VEPs in healthy subjects.
    Author: Abe Y, Kuroiwa Y.
    Journal: Electroencephalogr Clin Neurophysiol; 1990; 77(2):81-5. PubMed ID: 1690119.
    Abstract:
    The amplitudes of transient and steady-state visual evoked potentials (VEPs) were measured during hemifield stimulation of the left eye in 10 healthy adults. Pattern reversal of a checkerboard was produced at 4 stimulation frequencies: 1, 5, 10 and 15 Hz. The amplitudes of pattern VEPs were evaluated using the paired t test to determine significant differences between right and left hemifields. The transient VEP amplitudes from midoccipital, midparietal, ipsilateral occipital and contralateral occipital electrodes were significantly greater with right hemifield stimulation. The steady-state VEP amplitudes from the midoccipital electrode during 15 Hz stimulation were significantly greater with right hemifield stimulation. Our neurophysiological data may be compatible with neuroanatomical asymmetries of the occipital lobes in humans.
