The biological sons of male alcoholics, deemed to be at high risk (HR) for the development of alcoholism, were compared to control males, aged 18 to 21, using measures of the visual evoked potential elicited by checkerboard pattern reversal. Overall, the HR and control groups were not distinguished on the basis of visual evoked potential measures acquired from the occipital scalp region; however, when comparisons were restricted to right-handed subjects, the HR subjects showed more symmetry in a positive component with approximate latency of 242 ms compared with control subjects. The results are discussed in relation to hemispheric differences and alcoholism.
男性酗酒者的亲生儿子被认为患酒精中毒的风险很高（HR），研究人员使用棋盘格图案反转诱发的视觉诱发电位测量方法，将他们与年龄在18至21岁的对照男性进行了比较。总体而言，根据从枕部头皮区域获得的视觉诱发电位测量结果，HR组和对照组没有区别；然而，当比较仅限于右利手受试者时，与对照组相比，HR组受试者在潜伏期约为242毫秒的正性成分上表现出更多的对称性。本文结合半球差异和酒精中毒对研究结果进行了讨论。
