Effects of a sedative and of a non-sedative H1-antihistamine on the event-related potential (ERP) in normal volunteers.

abstract：RATIONALE:The positive modulation of gamma-aminobutyric acid type-A (GABAA) receptors is a putative mechanism via which alcohol escalates aggressive behavior. Broad-spectrum benzodiazepine antagonists block alcohol-heightened aggression in rats and monkeys. However, the degree to which GABAA subunit composition plays a...
