The P1 component of the middle latency auditory evoked potential (MLAEP) was found to be absent in 47.5% of 101 patients with Alzheimer disease (AD). Lack of a P1 component recently has been associated with a more rapid decline in cognitive performance. The blink reflex (BR) was tested in 36 patients with probable AD and 17 elderly control subjects. All subjects also underwent P1 recording. Patients lacking a P1 potential showed a significant increase in latency of the contralateral R2 response of the BR. The P1 component and the R2 response may differentiate a subgroup of AD patients with involvement of the brainstem, especially the reticular formation.
