Aberrant Lateralization of Brainstem Auditory Evoked Responses by Individuals with Down Syndrome.
Miezejeski, Charles M.; And Others
American Journal on Mental Retardation, v98 n4 p481-89 Jan 1994
Brainstem auditory evoked response latencies were studied in 80 males (13 with Down's syndrome). Latencies for waves P3 and P5 were shorter for Down's syndrome subjects, who also showed a different pattern of left versus right ear responses. Results suggest decreased lateralization and receptive and expressive language ability among people with Down's syndrome. (Author/DB)
