  • Title: [Neurophysiological characteristics of early auditory waves of the brain stem and their clinical utilization].
    Author: Despland PA, Galambos R.
    Journal: Schweiz Med Wochenschr; 1979 May 26; 109(21):781-7. PubMed ID: 451503.
    Abstract:
    The auditory brainstem electric response yields information on both the neurological and the audiological status of infants and adults. These early waves have particular properties as: non-habituation, absence of latency modifications between sleep, awake state, or under high doses of barbiturates. We have developed a procedure for extracting each type of information by measuring the latencies of wave I (auditory nerve) and wave V (inferior colliculus), then the speed of conduction between these two waves.
