title: [The progress in the study on slow vertex response].
abstract: Slow vertex response (SVR) is one of long latency auditory evoked potentials. It is a biological and electric response originating from brain cortical neuron evoked by sound stimulus with the latency from 50 to 500 milliseconds. Of all the neuroelectric physiological audiometries, it is the earliest method applied in assessing the function of the auditory neural conduction pathway. The concept, neural generators of SVR have been introduced in this article. Influencing factors on SVR were discussed such as stimulus parameters, consciousness state, age, maturation of the subject. Applications of SVR in clinical and forensic medicine identification were also discussed.
