Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increased latency in somatosensory evoked response (SER) is associated with conditions affecting the central nervous system, such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, cervical spondylosis, and multiple sclerosis, as these conditions can cause demyelination or interruption of nerve conduction. Cochlear lesions and optic chiasm lesions would not affect somatosensory evoked responses.
