The P300 as a possible endophenotype for schizophrenia and bipolar disorder: Evidence from twin and patient studies.

9 Sep 2009 It has been proposed that psychophysiological abnormalities in schizophrenia, such as decreased amplitude of the evoked potential component P300, may be genetically influenced. Studies of heritability of the P300 have used different and typically ... Read more...

An initial report of a new biological marker for bipolar disorder: P85 evoked brain potential.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVES: Progress toward understanding the neurobiological and genetic underpinnings of bipolar disorder has been limited by the scarcity of potential biological markers that predict its occurrence. A measure of the integrity of brain inhibitory ... Read more...
