Evidence for a correlation between the latency of an early component of auditory evoked potentials and the brain levels of serotonin in albino rats.
Changes in brain serotonin levels are correlated with the latency of an early component of auditory evoked potentials (EAEP) in rats. In fact 5-hidroxytryptophan provokes an increase both in serotonin brain synthesis and in the latency of EAEP. On the other hand, PCPA provokes an opposite effect.
