Auditory brainstem evoked potentials (ABEP) were recorded from 50 newborns (35-43 weeks gestational age), using three orthogonal differential electrode pairs, in addition to the widely used vertex-mastoid derivation. Potentials were evoked by alternating polarity, 75 dBnHL clicks presented monaurally at a rate of 10/s. From the records of the three orthogonal electrode pairs (nasion-inion; vertex-spinous cervical process VII; left-right mastoids), Three-channel Lissajous' trajectories (3CLT) were derived and analyzed. 3CLT point-by-point, as well as segmental descriptors were compared with peak latencies of the vertex-mastoid derivation. Point-by-point 3CLT descriptors included apex amplitude, latency and orientation. Segmental descriptors included planar segment beginning latencies, duration and orientation. The interpretation of these results in relation to developmental aspects of the auditory system, as well as to the question of ABEP generators, is enhanced by using 3CLT descriptors of ABEP, which are more comprehensive than their single-channel counterparts. 3CLT apices correlated well with the Vertex-Mastoid defined peaks. Both peak and apex latency changes indicate that at the developmental stages surveyed in this study, development takes place in the more central portions of the pathway, whereas the peripheral portion is already relatively mature. The results also indicate a maturational change in the relative contributions of constituent generators of ABEP components.
