Abstract

Frequency analysis of electroencephalograms and estimation of the average latency of photically induced evoked responses were carried out on children aged 8 to 9 years with or without ariboflavinosis associated with low serum folate activity.
In the ariboflavinotic children, there was a tendency toward prolonged latency of the photically evoked responses and toward an increase in energy percent at the theta band associated with a decrease in energy percent at the alpha band of frequency in the basic wave.
