“…VEMP generated by acoustic stimulation was supposed to be a reflex conducted via the oligosynaptic pathway, which included the activation of neuroreceptors in the saccule, vestibular afferent conduction to the vestibular nucleus, central conduction from the vestibular nucleus to the motor nucleus of the SCM, and peripheral conduction to the muscle itself (6,(9)(10)(11). Like the influence of high click repetition rate on auditory brainstem response, one explanation for the depressed VEMP at higher repetition rate could be the adaptation of vestibular end organs to activate the first neuron (17,18). There are, of course, other steps in the above pathway that could be likely sources of adaptation.…”

Vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs) generated by click stimulation and recorded on the sternocleidomastoid muscle have been used as a test of vestibular reflexes. Various parameters of the stimulus and recording setting have been studied. However, the influence of stimulation repetition rate of VEMPs and the most optimal stimulation rate for clinical use have not yet been defined. Each ear of 12 normal adults was tested at five different click stimulation rates (1 Hz, 5 Hz, 10 Hz, 15 Hz and 20 Hz) in random order. VEMP responses were evident in all 24 ears stimulated with 1 Hz, 5 Hz and 10 Hz. One ear was void of response at 15 Hz stimulation and nine ears at 20 Hz stimulation. The relative amplitude or the rank of amplitude in individual ears was higher at 1 Hz and 5 Hz stimulation, progressively decreasing as the stimulation rate increased. Comparisons of p13 and n23 latencies showed no difference among five stimulation rates, but variance was greatest at 20 Hz stimulation and smallest at 1 Hz. VEMPs generated at lower stimulation repetition rate seemed to be more marked and constant. However, with regard to examination time and patient compliance, a 5 Hz stimulus is advisable if both short examination time and higher signal/noise ratio are required.

Circadian Variation in the Latency of Brainstem Responses and Its Relation to Body Temperature

The auditory brainstem response varies in a circadian rhythm that is negatively correlated with the circadian rhythm in oral temperature. The auditory brainstem responses and oral temperature were recorded every 3 hours from three healthy male subjects during a 2-day period. The data indicate that a reduction of 1 degree C in oral temperature is associated with an increase of 200 microseconds in the latency of wave V of the auditory brainstem response, and of 160 microseconds in the interval between waves I and V.

“…These attempts include using increased stimulus repetition rates as well as maximum length sequences [Spoor and Eggermont, 1971;Mouney et al, 1976;Don et al, 1977;Olphen et al, 1979;Eysholdt and Schreiner, 1982;Burkard et al, 1990a;Fausti et al, 1994]. Both of these procedures result in adaptation of the response usually characterized by a reduction in amplitude and a delay in latency of the response.…”

To further develop a multiple stimulus method for the rapid acquisition of auditory brainstem responses (ABRs), a 56-stimulus train was tested in mice. Stimuli in the train were tone bursts spaced at 0.5-octave intervals from 4 to 32 kHz. ABR thresholds, latency-intensity and amplitude-intensity functions were obtained using stimuli presented singly (one at a time) and using the 56-stimulus train. Responses from stimuli presented singly and those obtained using the 56-stimulus train were compared. There were no significant differences in thresholds (0.01 level) and very small differences in response latencies and amplitudes. These findings demonstrate the feasibility of multiple stimulus trains for the rapid acquisition of ABRs.
