Short latency somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) to unilateral median nerve electrical stimulation were recorded from normal infants at birth and at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 months of age. Three channels were recorded: Erb's point-Fz; C II (over 2nd cervical vertebra)-Fz; contralateral C' (2 cm posterior to C3 or C4)-Fz. Sweep time = 50 msec. At birth, the C II potential was seen in all infants; the Erb's point and C' potentials were seen in two-thirds. All older infants had well developed potentials at all sites. The mean latency of the Erb's point potential was stable over time. The latency of the C II potential decreased with maturation. At C', 4 components were seen, the latencies of which decreased with maturation: N1, P1, N2 and P2. The duration of N1 and P1 decreased with maturation. Standard deviations were relatively small for latencies and large for amplitudes. SEPs were adversely affected by using the 60 c/sec filter. Increasing the low frequency filter from 1 to 30 c/sec changed SEP, particularly in younger infants. Abnormal SEPs were seen in prematures surviving periventricular hemorrhage.
