Evoked Potentials
Antidromic Potentials | Event-Related Potentials | Potentials, Event-Related | Antidromic Potential | Event Related Potentials | Event-Related Potential | Evoked Potential | Potential, Antidromic | Potential, Event-Related | Potential, Evoked
The electric response evoked in the central nervous system by stimulation of sensory receptors or some point on the sensory pathway leading from the receptor to the cortex. The evoked stimulus can be auditory (EVOKED POTENTIALS, AUDITORY), somatosensory (EVOKED POTENTIALS, SOMATOSENSORY), or visual (EVOKED POTENTIALS, VISUAL), although other modalities have been reported. Event-related potentials is sometimes used synonymously with evoked potentials but is often associated with the execution of a motor, cognitive, or psychophysiological task, as well as with the response to a stimulus. |
