Changes in Middle Latency Auditory-Evoked Potentials of the Rat Exposed to Styrene
نویسندگان
چکیده
Effects of styrene exposure on middle latency auditory-evoked potentials (MAEPs), which reflect the central auditory function, were investigated. As significant delay in latencies of No, Po, Na, and Pa components and increases in the peak to peak intervals of MAEPs, but not amplitudes, were observed in a dose–dependent manner. The present and our previous studies demonstrate that electrophysiological alterations occur before neuronal cell damage induced by styrene exposure. The present results suggested that styrene has a marked effect on the processing of auditory information related to MAEPs.

Middle Latency Auditory Evoked Potential (MLAEP) in Workers with and without Tinnitus who are Exposed to Occupational Noise
BACKGROUND Tinnitus is an important occupational health concern, but few studies have focused on the central auditory pathways of workers with a history of occupational noise exposure. Thus, we analyzed the central auditory pathways of workers with a history of occupational noise exposure who had normal hearing threshold, and compared middle latency auditory evoked potential in those with and w...
متن کاملComparison of the extratympanic electrocochleography in human and rabbit
Electrocochleography (ECoG) records the electrophysiologic activity of the most peripheral part of the auditory system, the inner ear cochlea and the 8th nerve. Auditory evoked potentials being recorded are Cochlear Microphonic (CM) and Summating Potential (AP). In order to provide the proper background for laboratory research and introducing an ECoG curve of a model animal, it was decided to...
متن کاملRecording of auditory middle latency evoked potentials during the practice of meditation with the syllable 'OM'.
Middle latency auditory evoked potentials were examined in 7 proficient subjects during the practice of meditation on the syllable 'OM', to determine whether these potentials would differ significantly from those recorded during the baseline state without practicing mediation. Similar records were also obtained in 7 'naive' subjects, matched for age, before and during a control period which inv...
متن کاملThe Effect of Oral Verapamil on the Visual Evoked Potentials in Definite Multiple Sclerosis Patients
Introduction: Ionic channel rearrangements through the demyelinated axons or supporting media play significant role in remission of the neurological deficit in MS patients. In this study the effects of Verapamil as a calcium channel blocker on central conduction have been investigated through the evaluation of changes in P100 latency of the visual evoked potential. Method: This randomized doubl...
متن کاملMiddle-latency auditory responses in neurological diseases.
UNLABELLED The presence of middle-latency evoked auditory potentials allows for integrity evaluation of both peripheral and the central auditory systems, and also, that of the nucleus and auditory pathways of sub-cortical region. They have also been used to study alterations of these structures in different neurological diseases. AIMS the aim of this study is to verify the latency of the midd...
