Conduction time of the lemniscal pathway in males and females.
The central conduction time of the lemniscal pathway is not statistically different in the two sexes, while the peak latencies of both S13 and N20 components are significantly longer in males than in females. However, multivariate analysis of covariance of data showed that such a result is not related to sex, but to the difference in height between the two sexes.
