The authors pointed out how some of the anatomic structures involved in the genesis of the event related potentials (ERPs) are also considered parts of the supranuclear regulation apparatus of the autonomic nervous system. Since there are evident functional similarities between some components of the ERPs and the orienting reflex--primitive form of attention--that is clearly associated with an autonomic activation, it could be interesting to evaluate the parameters of the ERPs in those experimental and clinical situations in which there is a functional involvement of the vegetative nervous system.
作者指出，一些与事件相关电位（ERP）产生有关的解剖结构也被认为是自主神经系统核上调节装置的一部分。由于ERP的某些成分与定向反射（注意力的原始形式）之间存在明显的功能相似性，而定向反射显然与自主激活有关，因此在那些植物神经系统功能受累的实验和临床情况下评估ERP的参数可能会很有意思。
