ANIAS CALDERON, José; CHAO GONZALEZ, Susana  and  POTRILLE MOORE, Rosa María. Relation between the middle latency auditory evoked potentials and yawn. Rev Cubana Invest Bioméd [online]. 2006, vol.25, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3011.

The changes produced by yawning in the middle latency auditory evoked potentials were observed to know more about the generation of this conduct. To this end, the middle latency auditory evoked potentials of 10 sound male adults were registered under the control conditions and immediately before and after yawning. The results showed a marked increase of the amplitude of the Pa wave after yawning. This allowed to determine the decisive participation of the encephalic trunk in the generation of the yawn and its endogenous nature.

Keywords : Middle latency auditory evoked potentials (MLAEP); yawn; Pa wave.
