TY - JOUR PY - 1978// TI - Auditory brain stem potentials with alcohol JO - Electroencephalography and clinical neurophysiology A1 - Squires, K. C. A1 - Chu, N. S. A1 - Starr, A. SP - 577 EP - 584 VL - 45 IS - 5 N2 - Auditory brain stem potentials were recorded from unrestrained rats and from cats paralyzed with Flaxedil, before and after ingestion of intoxicating dosages of alcohol. The acute effect of alcohol was a cumulative increase in the central conduction times of successive brain stem potential peaks. Statistically significant latency changes were found for peaks attributed to neural structures as far peripherally as the medulla. This depressive influence of alcohol on sensory transmission was independent of variations in stimulus intensity and body temperature.
