Overview

Evoked potentials are electrical signals recorded from the nervous system in direct response to a specific sensory, motor or cognitive stimulus, such as a sound, a flash of light, an electrical pulse to a nerve, or a touch. Measured by surface electrodes and extracted from background brain activity by averaging many repeated responses, they reveal how rapidly and faithfully nerve pathways conduct and process information. The main clinical types include visual evoked potentials, brainstem auditory evoked potentials and somatosensory evoked potentials, each probing a different sensory pathway. Because they can detect slowing or blockage of conduction before it is otherwise apparent, evoked potentials are widely used to assess the integrity of the optic nerves, auditory pathways and spinal and peripheral nerves, to help diagnose demyelinating and other neurological conditions, and to monitor the nervous system during surgery. Neurological Research and Therapy publishes work across clinical and experimental neuroscience, including the cellular and regenerative mechanisms underlying sensory function, such as research on stem-cell differentiation factors and their potential to reverse neurosensory hearing loss, which connects to the auditory pathways that evoked-potential testing evaluates. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to evoked potentials and the broader study of nervous-system function.
