A clinically practical monitor of such effects would be of considerable value in clinical research and practice.

Auditory evoked responses were recorded from patients before and after initiation of antiepileptic drug therapy and from patients on therapy for at least 1 year. T complexes were isolated (Wolpaw and Penry, 1975), and Ta peak ipsilateral versus contralateral latency differences were determined.

In 13 patients beginning phenobarbital, more than half the postdrug determinations were significantly increased over the patients' predrug control values in the first 30 days and thereafter, and grossly abnormal values were frequent. In 10 patients beginning phenytoin, latency differences were similarly increased, although grossly abnormal values were less common. In 2 patients beginning clonazepam, 14 of 15 postdrug determinations were significantly increased, and five were grossly abnormal. In no patients were serum drug levels above the therapeutic ranges. In 40 patients chronically treated with phenobarbital or primidone, phenytoin, or a combination of phenytoin and phenobarbital or primidone, abnormal latency differences were obtained in 33, 36, and 29% of the determinations, respectively.

The Ta peak ipsilateral versus contralateral latency difference is an internally controlled correlate of higher level specific sensory function which is sensitive to acute and chronic therapy with phenobarbital, phenytoin, or clonazepam in therapeutic dosages. With further investigation, it may be of clinical use.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jonathan Wolpaw</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Penry, J.

With monaural stimulation, the T complex is larger and earlier on the side contralateral to stimulation and on the right side. Thirty-one normal adults received 3 oz. of ethanol, 300 mg of caffeine, or placebo. Monaural AERs were recorded before intake in all cases, 1 and 4 h after ethanol and 80 min after caffeine or placebo. Blood levels of ethanol and caffeine were measured. Placebo produced mild (20%) decreases in N1P2 amplitude. Caffeine did not decrease N1P2 amplitude. It did produce a statistically significant 2% decrease in Ta peak latency. Ethanol reduced N1P2 amplitude markedly at 1 h and mildly at 4 h. Placebo did not affect hemispheric differences. Caffeine significantly increased the Ta peak ipsilateral vs. contralateral latency difference in 3 of 7 individuals. Ethanol significantly increased it in 3 of 6 subjects at 1 h and in 7 of 10 at 4 h, primarily by increasing ipsilateral latencies.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jonathan Wolpaw</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Penry, J.

The present study investigated the ipsilateral vs. contralateral and right vs. left hemispheric differences in N1P2 and T complex latencies and amplitudes. One msec clicks at 60 dB above threshold were presented at 4.7 sec intervals monaurally to 32 normal adults and binaurally to 13 of the 32. AERs were recorded from vertex and temporal referred to a balanced non-cephalic reference electrode. For monaural stimulation, N1P2 and T complex amplitudes were significantly greater and T complex latency was significantly less over the contralateral and right hemispheres. The ipsilateral vs. contralateral and right vs. left hemispheric amplitude differences were significanlty greater for the T complex than for N1P2. Binaural results, which provided in additional measure of right vs. left hemispheric differences, were in agreement with the monaural findings. The results are consistent with neurophysiologic and behavioral findings in regard to ipsilateral vs. contralateral and right vs. left hemispheric differences and support the hypothesis that the T complex is produced by secondary auditory cortex.</style></abstract></record><record><source-app name="Biblio" version="7.x">Drupal-Biblio</source-app><ref-type>17</ref-type><contributors><authors><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Jonathan Wolpaw</style></author><author><style face="normal" font="default" size="100%">Penry, J.

The tape-recorded EEG was filtered at 1-25 c/sec, and 128 individual responses were summed, sampling every 0.5 msec for 250 msec post-stimulation. The Cz AERs showed the classic vertex response, a negative peak, N1, at 100 msec, followed by a positive peak, P2, at 160-200 msec. The T3 and T4 AERs were similar to the Cz AERs from 0 to 80 msec and from 200 to 250 msec. They differed significantly from the Cz AERs from 80 to 200 msec. The difference is best explained by the hypothesis that the Cz AERs consisted of N1P2, while the T3 and T4 AERs consisted of N1P2 plus an additional superimposed component, which we called the T complex, comprising a positive peak, Ta, at 105-110 msec, and a negative peak, Tb, at 150-160 msec. By computer, the corresponding Cz and T3 or T4 AERs were normalized to equalize their amplitudes, and the former was subtracted from the latter, thus isolating the T complex. The Ta peak was found to occur 1.5 +/- 1.6 msec earlier at the electrode contralateral to stimulation, and 2.2 +/- 4.0 msec earlier at the T4 (right) electrode. Both differences were statistically significant. The T complex amplitude was greater at the electrode contralateral to stimulation and at the T4 electrode. These findings appear to resolve current controversies concerning the form of the temporal AER. While N1P2 is apparently a product of widespread areas of cortex, we conclude that the T complex is probably a product of secondary auditory cortex.</style></abstract></record></records></xml>
