Absence of P300 Reduction in South African Treatment-Naive Adolescents with Alcohol Dependence
Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research, 06/08/2012
Cuzen NL et al. – The P300 deficit was not present in treatment–naive alcohol–dependent adolescents without comorbidities. In comparison to results of reduced P300 in treated adolescent alcohol use disorder samples, this finding likely reflects moderate alcohol exposure, lower genetic vulnerability to alcoholism, and lack of comorbidity in the authors' sample.
