Advanced Evoked Potentials
Over the last twenty to thirty years the progressivcly increasing availability of averaging machines has made evoked potential testing available not only in the major neurological diagnostic centers but also in the office of many neuro logists in private

FRAN and N 19 of median SEPs, and N 35 and N:17 of ti bi al SEPs, which probably represent thalamic and cortical discharges. In the analysis of scalp-recorded SEPs, one tends to attribute the far-ficld peaks to specific neural structures along the somatosensory pathways. It is not known, however, why the impulse traveling along the first order afferents gives rise to standing potentials at certain points in time in the absence of fixed neural discharges. Such stationary peaks may occur with a sudden change in direction ofthe propagating impulse, at branching points ofthe nerve or as the result of altered conduction properties of the nerve of the surrounding tissue. A postural change
