Abstract
Cognitive and mood changes are central components of solvent encephalo pathy. This study examined event-related potentials in relation to neu ropsychological and psychiatric function in solvent-exposed adults. Re sults revealed that longer P300 latency was associated with poorer cog nitive test scores, whereas reduced P300 amplitude was related to incr eased psychiatric symptomatology. The findings suggest that the cognit ive deficits and the psychiatric disturbance following solvent exposur e may have different neurophysiological bases.
