The human frequency-following response (FFR): normal variability and relation to the click-evoked brainstem response.
Hearing Research 1992 May
The frequency-following response (FFR) was recorded from twenty human subjects (11 female and 9 male) over a frequency range of 128-832 Hz in order to study the normal variability of this evoked potential and its dependence on age and sex. Moreover the relation of the FFR to the click-evoked brain stem response (BER) was analyzed in order to contribute to the FFR source discussion. The FFR had a maximum amplitude of about 400 nV and a latency of about 6.4 ms for stimulus frequencies around 350 Hz; the inter-individual variance of the best frequency and of the shape of the frequency function was considerable. Large second harmonics were seen in the FFR to stimuli below about 200 Hz. The FFR amplitude tended to be larger in younger subjects, whereas no such effect was found for the BER. No significant sex effect was found for the FFR amplitude, whereas the BER waves IV and VI were larger for females than for males. There were no correlations between FFR and BER latencies. Significant correlations were found between the amplitudes of the FFR and BER components II, III and IV, but not of waves V and VI. The results support the notion that the FFR and the BER reflect different mechanisms. Moreover the results do not favor the common hypothesis that the inferior colliculus is the major source of the scalp-recorded human FFR, but rather point to lower brainstem levels.
