Unreliable Evoked Responses in Autism

Unreliable Evoked Responses in Autism

Autism has been described as a disorder of general neural processing, but the particular processing characteristics that might be abnormal in autism have mostly remained obscure. Here, we present evidence of one such characteristic: poor evoked response reliability. We compared cortical response amplitude and reliability (consistency across trials) in visual, auditory, and somatosensory cortice...

Evoked responses in anaesthesia.

The aim of this review is first, to provide the clinical anaesthetist with a sufficient background regarding evoked responses, and second, to present current research in this sphere, thereby allowing an appraisal to be made of the usefulness of evoked potentials in the clinical setting. We shall consider: (1) the background, including the origins of the various evoked response components and th...

In view of the conflicting evidence concerning prolongation of the VERs in diabetes, pattern reversal VERs were performed on 60 diabetic inpatients. Only in one patient was the VER unequivocally delayed without some other explanation and in 2 other patients it was prolonged in association with proliferative retinopathy. In the latter instance the latency may have been increased by involvement o...
