A study of brain stem auditory evoked responses (BAER) was carried out in 10 narcoleptics, 10 primary insomniacs and 10 normal controls to determine if a neurophysiologic abnormality could be detected in these primary sleep disorders. The mean interpeak conduction times of Wave I-III, III-V and Iv were compared between the following groups: normal controls awake and in monitored sleep; narcoleptics awake and in monitored sleep, normal controls awake and narcoleptics awake; normal controls awake and insomniacs awake; narcoleptics awake and insomniacs awake; narcoleptics with cataplexy (n = 6) awake and narcoleptics without cataplexy (n = 4) awake. No significant differences were found which suggests that these sleep disorders represent dysfunctions which do not involve brain stem structures subserving the BAER.
对10名发作性睡病患者、10名原发性失眠症患者和10名正常对照者进行了脑干听觉诱发电位（BAER）研究，以确定在这些原发性睡眠障碍中是否能检测到神经生理异常。比较了以下几组之间波I-III、III-V和IV的平均峰间传导时间：清醒和监测睡眠状态下的正常对照者；清醒和监测睡眠状态下的发作性睡病患者；清醒的正常对照者和清醒的发作性睡病患者；清醒的正常对照者和清醒的失眠症患者；清醒的发作性睡病患者和清醒的失眠症患者；患有猝倒症的发作性睡病患者（n = 6）清醒状态下和无猝倒症的发作性睡病患者（n = 4）清醒状态下。未发现显著差异，这表明这些睡眠障碍代表的功能障碍不涉及维持BAER的脑干结构。
