title: [Cognitive event related potentials in neuropediatrics].
abstract: In the study knowledge about cognitive event related potentials, particulary P300 potential was presented. It was shown as a objective and non-invasion method of estimate of cognitive functions, allowing on estimate of memory, taking decision and degree of concentration. Their origin in state of health and many disturbances and developmental diseases of nervous system were discussed. Difficulty in their registration and interpretation in this age has shown. Endogenous evoked potentials position in neuropediatrics was discussed, especially for diagnostics of neurologic and psychiatric diseases, as well as for monitoring course and treatment of these diseases. The diagnostic value of P300 for estimate of change of cognitive function in some syndromes and development diseases as epilepsy, tumour and brain injury, headache, demyelinisation, metabolic and degeneration diseases and progressive and non progressive encephalopathies was revealed. It was reminded of requirement of practice complex research of different potentials as well as application of new stimulation methods.
