ABSTRACT
Children′s neurological diseases can cause problems in structure and function of the brain, which is often accompanied by cognitive impairment.They have a great influence on children′s intellectual development and social life, so assessing cognitive function earlier is particularly significant.Event-related potential(ERP)P300 is an important electrophysiological technique in clinical practice.Compared with other evaluation methods, P300 has the advantages of objective, repeatable and non-invasive.P300 has a good effect in the assessment of children with neurological diseases and cognitive impairment, which provides a reference for clinical diagnosis, treatment and prognosis.This article reviews the research progress of P300 in children with common neurological diseases and cognitive impairment, in order to improve the understanding of clinical workers.
