The auditory evoked brain stem potential was recorded in 14 normal full-term infants and nine normal-hearing adults. Silver-silver chloride electrodes were placed at nasion, forehead, vertex, each mastoid over the bony prominence, and the seventh cervical vertebra (noncephalic reference) in order to study the scalp distribution of the auditory brain stem response. Large differences in the scalp distribution between the newborn and adult populations were observed. At the ipsilateral mastoid, an x wave occurring at approximately 2 ms and a y wave occurring at approximately 3.3 ms were identified in the adult; this contrasts to a y wave at approximately 3.7 ms in the neonate. It appears that there are either separate generators for some of the components in the adult versus the neonate, and/or as the nervous system matures, myelinization occurs with a concomitant change in the scalp distribution of the auditory brain stem potentials.
对14名正常足月婴儿和9名听力正常的成年人记录了听觉诱发电位脑干电位。将银-氯化银电极置于鼻根、前额、头顶、每个乳突骨隆突上方以及第七颈椎（非头部参考点），以研究听觉脑干反应的头皮分布。观察到新生儿和成年人在头皮分布上存在很大差异。在成人的同侧乳突处，可识别出在约2毫秒出现的x波和约3.3毫秒出现的y波；这与新生儿中约3.7毫秒出现的y波形成对比。似乎成人与新生儿的某些成分存在不同的发生器，和/或随着神经系统成熟，髓鞘化发生，同时听觉脑干电位的头皮分布也发生变化。
