Brain-emitted event-related potentials recorded during rapid decision-making may be useful in monitoring the neuropathogenesis of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
Event-related potentials recorded from HIV-infected patients while they detected oddball targets during rapid delivery of dual sequences of tones showed the complete absence of the late, 300-msec., positive (P300) component, suggesting an alteration in the neuronal activity underlying cognitive processing.
