Brainstem Auditory Evoked Responses, Pattern-Shift Visual Evoked Potentials, and Short-latency Somatosensory Evoked Potentials for upper and lower limbs have been recorded in 60 male and female normal control subjects, aged 20-84 years. Age and gender effects were analyzed from the comparison of linear regressions with age and from the comparison of the mean values calculated in 3 age groups (20-40 years, 40-60 years, over 60 years). No noticeable effect of age was observed on Brainstem Auditory Evoked Responses. A gender-differential aging process is discussed for some of the short-latency Somatosensory Evoked Potentials. The constitution of reference norms which differ for male and female subjects is considered to be necessary.

D009431 Neural Conduction The propagation of the NERVE IMPULSE along the nerve away from the site of an excitation stimulus. Nerve Conduction,Conduction, Nerve,Conduction, Neural,Conductions, Nerve,Conductions, Neural,Nerve Conductions,Neural Conductions
D011930 Reaction Time The time from the onset of a stimulus until a response is observed. Response Latency,Response Speed,Response Time,Latency, Response,Reaction Times,Response Latencies,Response Times,Speed, Response,Speeds, Response
D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
