Middle latency auditory evoked potentials (MAEPs) in chronic schizophrenics

Schizophr Res. 1991 Jul-Aug;5(1):61-6. doi: 10.1016/0920-9964(91)90054-u.

Abstract

Middle latency auditory evoked potentials were recorded in medicated chronic schizophrenics and controls at stimulation rates of 10/s, 2/s, and 1/s. Increasing the stimulation rate did not change Pa amplitude but decreased Pb amplitude. There was no difference between the two groups.
