The evidence relating prenatal supplementation with DHA to offspring neurological development is limited. We investigated the effect of prenatal DHA supplementation on infant brainstem auditory-evoked responses and visualevoked potentials in a double-blind, randomized controlled trial in Cuernavaca, Mexico. Pregnant women were supplemented daily with 400 mg DHA or placebo from gestationwk 18–22...

Somatosensory, visual and brainstem auditory evoked potentials were recorded in 10 unpremedicated patients anaesthetized with isoflurane in oxygen. Recordings were made at 0.5%, 1.1% and 1.65% (six patients) end-tidal isoflurane concentration. There were statistically significant increases in the latencies of the somatosensory (N20), visual and brainstem auditory potentials (waves III and V) wi...

Because of the nature and location of the lesion in central pontine myelinolysis, considerable difficulties in diagnosis may arise. Computed tomography (CT) and brainstem auditory-evoked potentials are useful in following the spread and regression of the pontine lesion. The correlation between clinical evolution, serial CT scans, and brainstem auditory-evoked potentials is considered in a patie...

BACKGROUND Auditory-evoked potentials have proven useful in the objective evaluation of sound encoding at different stages of the auditory pathway (brainstem and cortex). Yet, their utility for use in clinical assessment and empirical research relies critically on the precision and test-retest repeatability of the measure. PURPOSE To determine how subcortical/cortical classes of auditory neur...
