— Visual, brainstem auditory and somatosensory evoked potentials to medial nerve stimulation were recorded in 27 patients affected by amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. VEP N75, P100, N140, N75‐P100 latencies and P100 amplitude, BAEP I‐III, III‐V and I‐V interpeak‐latencies were within normal limits in all ALS patients. Somatosensory evoked potentials were abnormally delayed in 8 patients: in 3 arms because of a delayed N9‐N13 latency, in 9 arms because of a delayed N13‐N19 latency.
