Intensity dependence of auditory evoked potentials as an indicator of central serotonergic neurotransmission: A new hypothesis
Abstract
Because of the increasing importance of the central serotonergic neurotransmission for pathogenetic concepts and its role as a target of pharmacotherapeutic interventions in psychiatry, reliable indicators of this system are needed. It is proposed that the stimulus intensity dependence of auditory evoked N1/P2-component, which is probably modulated by cortical serotonergic innervation, may be a useful and noninvasive indicator of behaviorally relevant aspects of serotonergic activity. Converging evidence from our own studies as well as from the literature suggests that a pronounced intensity dependence of auditory evoked N1/P2-component reflects low central serotonergic neurotransmission. Recent findings concerning general functional aspects of the brain serotonin system reveal that this system is well qualified for adjusting individual levels of sensory processing ("set the tone"), especially in the primary auditory cortex in which the N1/P2-component is mainly generated. Dipole source analysis represents an important methodological advance in this context because it allows the separation of N1/P2-subcomponents generated in the primary auditory cortex from those generated in secondary auditory areas.

“The amplitude of this component is known to be sensitive to sound intensity; i.e., loud sounds evoke larger N1 amplitudes than soft sounds (Näätänen and Picton, 1987; Hegerl and Juckel, 1993).”

In the citing paper
“The rationale for focusing on N1 lies in the fact that the amplitude of this component is volume dependent; that is, other things being equal, loud sounds evoke N1-components of larger amplitude than do soft sounds (Näätänen and Picton, 1987; Hegerl and Juckel, 1993).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
