Event‐related potentials (ERPs), particularly the P3 wave, have been proposed as biological
markers of genetic risk for alcoholism. The present study assesses the ERPs from 102 boys …

Sons and daughters (ages 8–14) of male alcoholics without psychiatric problems were
compared with sons and daughters of controls employing two auditory paradigms to elicit …

In a dual-modality paradigm, visual and auditory event-related potentials were elicited in 40
alcoholic men and 30 controls, equated with the alcoholics on age and education. Half of …

To determine if P300 and other event-related potentials (ERP) could serve as markers for
risk of developing alcoholism, two groups of children (8-18 years old) were tested. The high …

Recent data collected at six identical electrophysiological laboratories from the large
national multisite Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism provide evidence for …

Visual event-related potentials (ERPs) were obtained in two groups of young adult male
subjects: One group (N= 24) considered to be at high risk for alcoholism due to paternal …

Recent studies on biological markers and risk factors for alcoholism have distinguished
between nonalcoholic individuals with a family history of alcoholism and those without such …

Event‐related brain potentials (ERPs) were used to compare young men having a positive
paternal family history for alcoholism (FHP) with carefully matched control subjects having …

One hundred sixty‐eight adult siblings and parents from affected and control families were
tested for ERP characteristics using two tasks involving an auditory oddball paradigm …

Preliminary results are presented for auditory ERPs recorded from members of alcoholic
families during performance of a counting task and a choice reaction task. Alcoholic families …
