Visual Evoked Response in Children Subjected to Prenatal Maternal Decompression
Abstract
The visual evoked response was studied in 41 children whose mothers had undergone antenatal decompression treatment, and in a closely-matched control group. The results showed no consistent statistically significant differences between the groups on a variety of latency and amplitude measures of the evoked response. It is concluded that neither group enjoyed any advantage in terms of maturation of the central nervous system, speed of neural conduction, or arousal level.
