Brain stem auditory evoked potentials in humans are composed of fast pseudorhythmic positive waves and slow positive and negative waves. The sources of these components have been identified on the basis of the observation of amplitude increase in depth records during surgery and by tracing these potentials from their intracranial maximum to the scalp by using movable electrodes within the IVth, IIIrd and lateral ventricles. The first wave I represents postsynaptic activities of the first auditory neurones; axonal volleys travelling along the auditory nerve do not contribute to this wave, which is obviously discrepant with the currently accepted view. Waves II and III are primarily generated within the pons, with possible contributions from the auditory nerve. Waves IV and VI originate from the pons and the medial geniculate body respectively. Both slow positive and negative waves have their origin in the inferior colliculus (IC). The slow positive waves probably represent incoming axonal volley and the negative waves, the postsynaptic potentials in the IC.
人类脑干听觉诱发电位由快速伪节律性正波以及缓慢的正波和负波组成。这些成分的来源已根据手术期间深度记录中振幅增加的观察结果以及通过在第四脑室、第三脑室和侧脑室内使用可移动电极将这些电位从颅内最大值追踪到头皮来确定。第一波I代表第一听觉神经元的突触后活动；沿听神经传播的轴突群对该波没有贡献，这显然与目前公认的观点不一致。波II和波III主要在脑桥内产生，听神经可能也有贡献。波IV和波VI分别起源于脑桥和内侧膝状体。缓慢的正波和负波均起源于下丘（IC）。缓慢的正波可能代表传入的轴突群，而负波则代表下丘中的突触后电位。
