J.P.C. de Weerd Evoked potentials are the electrical voltage
fluctuations which can be recorded from parts of the nervous system
in response to stimulation of sensory modalities. One may
distinguish between evoked potentials from the peripheral and the
central nervous system. For the latter type a further subdivision
can be made into spinal, brainstem, and cortical evoked potentials,
according to the (assumed) structures from which the responses
derive. Another possible subdivision can be made with respect to
the specific sensory ffiodality which is stimulated. Accordingly,
one has auditory, somatosensory, visual, gustatory and olfactory
evoked potentials. At the present time, the former three types of
evoked potentials are the ones that are commonly measured in
diagnostic procedures. Yhe corresponding sensory systems are
relatively easy to stimulate, for example by means of an acoustic
click, abrief electrical shock or a reversing light pattern. In
contrast, stimulation of the olfactory and gustatory systems has
proven to be technically and physiologically difficult and research
in these areas is still in an early stage.
