Abstract

It has been reported that electroencephalographic (EEG) examinations of alcohol dependents reveal a few abnormal findings. However, we show abnormal findings in 47 (64%) of 73 alcohol dependents in whom disturbance of consciousness, convulsions, disturbance of memory, emotional disorders and hallucination were present. Our results indicate that EEG examination may be necessary for real time assessment of brain function in alcoholism.
