Abstract

Evoked potentials are the bioelectric responses of nervous tissue (field potentials) following electrical or adequate stimulation of sensory organs, afferent nerves or other cerebral structures neuronally connected with the recorded area. Evoked potentials can only be recorded if sufficient nervous tissue is excited simultaneously. Therefore, the stimuli are either electrical stimuli of a large number of elements or adequate stimuli (light, sound, pressure etc.) with a sharp gradient and of short duration. For visual evoked potentials a short flash (about 1–10 μ sec) of intense light is used, such as that produced by a stroboscope, or flashes of longer duration but with a short rise time. Sinusoidal stimuli have the disadvantage of variable rise times proportional to the stimulus frequency. The evoked potentials produced by light as well as by electrical stimuli in any part of the visual system have only a restricted value for analysis of the finer functional organization of the visual system if it is not correlated with results of single neuronal and behavioral analysis. But the evoked potential analysis has two advantages: 1) As an electrophysiological tool for determining anatomical connections in the brain and 2) as a method for monitoring cerebral responses in behavioral, physiological or pathophysiological situations, if more refined recording methods are not applicable. The informative value of an evoked potential will increase when more is known about the excitatory and inhibitory responses of the single neurons which contribute to it.
