title: [Potential P300 in diagnostics of cognitive functions].
abstract: On the base of accessible literature and own experience general information concerning potential P300, the methodology of its research as well as the influence of different factors on each its components were reviewed. The possibilities of the clinical use of potential P300 in the diagnostics of cognitive disturbances were presented. It emerges that P300 potential can have practical use in the diagnostics of dementias, but because of its physiological and individual changeability it cannot be treated as a fully objective diagnostic method.
