Brainstem auditory evoked potentials in experimentally-induced bovine spongiform encephalopathy

Abstract This study was carried out to evaluate the features of neurological dysfunction in experimentally-induced bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE)-infected cattle using brainstem auditory evoked potentials (BAEP). The progressive prolongation of peak latency of waves III and V was observed right-and-left bilaterally at the onset of neurological symptoms. The peak latency of wave V and the I–V interpeak latency (IPL) in BSE cattle 22 and 24 months after intracerebral inoculation were significantly ( P
