Background The aim was to electrophysiologically evaluate changes in the peripheral and central auditory systems individuals with neurofibromatosis type 1 who underwent formal training. Material methods sample consisted of 6 aged between 9 15 years. procedures involved anamnesis, meatoscopy, brainstem potentials long-latency evoked potentials, behavioral tests processing. All were given weekly ...

Tune deafness (TD) is a central auditory processing disorder characterized by the inability to discriminate pitch, reproduce melodies or to recognize deviations in melodic structure, in spite of normal hearing. The cause of the disorder is unknown. To identify a pathophysiological marker, we ascertained a group of severely affected TD patients using the Distorted Tunes Test, an ecologically val...

UNLABELLED Mismatch Negativity (MMN) is a long-latency auditory evoked potential that provides an objective index of discrimination skills and auditory sensorial memory. It may, therefore, be used as an electrophysiological evaluation of central auditory processing. AIM To study MMN in patients with Central Auditory Processing Disorder - CAPD. STUDY METHOD A prospective clinical study. MA...

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disorder diagnosed behaviorally, with many documented neurophysiological abnormalities in cortical response properties. While abnormal sensory processing is not considered core to the disorder, most ASD individuals report sensory processing abnormalities. Yet, the neurophysiological correlates of these abnormalities have not been fully mapped. I...

BACKGROUND Auditory processing and auditory sensibility to high Frequency sounds. AIM To characterize the localization processes, temporal ordering, hearing patterns and detection of high frequency sounds, looking for possible relations between these factors. METHOD 32 hearing fourth grade students, born in city of São Paulo, were submitted to: a simplified evaluation of the auditory proces...
