abstract：:Magnetic brain responses were recorded to clarify the cortical representation of vowel processing in Japanese. We investigated the peak latencies and equivalent current dipoles of the auditory N1m responses to the Japanese vowels [a], [i], [o], and [u].

The present study examined whether this represents merely a delay of CSN death or whether BDNF and NT-3 can promote long-term survival of these neurons in vivo. The neurotro...
