title: Midlatency auditory evoked responses in the human and the cat model.
abstract: Findings from the experiments summarized above indicate that the MRL components, Pa and P1, are differentially affected by several functional and parametric variables, suggesting that each of these components reflects a separate and distinct generator system. Moreover, the similarities between the human Pa and the cat wave 7 suggest an auditory cortex origin of this component. The similarities between the human P1 and the cat wave A suggest that in the human, as in the cat, this potential may be generated by a component of the ascending reticular activating system.
