Endogenous evoked potentials and vigilance levels variations.
The authors consider the possible relationship between the autonomic functions and the contingent Negative Variation (CNV). This relationship has been found both in psychopathological conditions and after the administration of psychotropic drugs. Some preliminary data are reported on the correlations observed between CNV and the autonomic activation (R-R interval) during a sodium lactate infusion.
