Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) have been used for decades to study the development of somatosensory processing in human infants. Research on infant SEPs has focused on the initial cortical component (N1) and its clinical utility for predicting neurological outcome in at-risk infants. However, recent studies suggest that examining the later components in the infant somatosensory evoked response will greatly advance our understanding of somatosensory processing in infancy. The purpose of this review is to synthesize the existing electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) studies on late somatosensory evoked responses in infants. We describe the late responses that have been reported and discuss the utility of such responses for illuminating key aspects of somatosensory processing in typical and atypical development.
几十年来，体感诱发电位（SEPs）一直被用于研究人类婴儿体感加工的发育情况。对婴儿SEP的研究主要集中在最初的皮层成分（N1）及其在预测高危婴儿神经学预后方面的临床应用。然而，最近的研究表明，检查婴儿体感诱发电反应中的后期成分将极大地推动我们对婴儿期体感加工的理解。这篇综述的目的是综合现有的关于婴儿晚期体感诱发电反应的脑电图（EEG）和脑磁图（MEG）研究。我们描述已报道的晚期反应，并讨论这些反应在阐明典型和非典型发育中体感加工关键方面的作用。
