Description:
Computer-averaged auditory evoked potentials were found to be abnormal in infants hospitalized because of severe malnutrition (marasmus). They improved as the infants' somatic growth improved during the course of treatment, but were still deviant at the time of discharge from the hospital and at subsequent outpatient follow-up. Abnormalities in evoked potentials may reflect a long-lasting effect of malnutrition on brain function.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Barnet, A B -- Weiss, I P -- Sotillo, M V -- Ohlrich, E S -- Shkurovich, M -- Cravioto, J -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1978 Aug 4;201(4354):450-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/96529" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
