title: Delayed P3 event-related potentials (ERPs) in thalamic hemorrhage.
abstract: Delayed P3 ERPs were recorded with an acoustic oddball paradigm in 5 patients affected by unilateral thalamic hemorrhage. P3 latencies in these 5 patients were above the normal mean latency of age-matched controls +2/+3 S.D.s. The P3 delay was persistent in serial follow-ups at 6 months from stroke. Normal P3 latencies were instead recorded in 4 patients with paramedian hemorrhage not involving or only partially involving the thalamus.
