Abstract

Ovarian hormones have long been known to affect the sensory information processing in brain. Brainstem Auditory Evoked Potential (BAEP) and Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) are simple non-invasive electrophysiological tests for hearing and vision assessment. Studies have shown mixed results regarding variation in auditory & visual neural conduction during different phases of menstrual cycle. The study showed that BAEP and VEP changes in the menstrual cycle phases are attributable to the ovarian hormones oestrogen and progesterone, which mainly modifies the central processing of auditory and visual neural conduction.
