title: Evidence for a correlation between the latency of an early component of auditory evoked potentials and the brain levels of serotonin in albino rats.
abstract: 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.
