Objective
Auditory evoked potential measurements have several advantages in evaluating brain function over other techniques (i.e. functional MRI, PET, MEG). The superior features of evoked potentials are their high temporal resolution, non-invasiveness and ease of handling. We studied auditory evoked potentials for their usefulness for studying the plasticity in the auditory system of cochlear implant users. The electrically derived auditory brainstem response (EABR) was used for studying the status of the inner ear, and event-related potentials (P300; P3) for the higher auditory system.

is most sensitive to neural damage. Our cortical activation study using fMRI showed the difference in response to auditory stimulation between the normal group and profound SNHL patients. For the normal-hearing group, the primary auditory cortex, which is contralateral to the normal ear, shows stron
Objective The loudness dependence of the auditory evoked potential (LDAEP) has been suggested as a marker of the serotonin system, although studies directly examining the relationship between acute changes in serotonin and the LDAEP have been inconsistent. Given the reported sex dichotomy in seroton
