The resting EEGs of 17 twin pairs originally traced through one neurotic co-twin (10 monozygotic and 7 dizygotic pairs aged between 18 and 63 years) have been described and compared with the neuroticism scores (Schepank, 1974) of these twins. EEG comparison according to the customary visual criteria failed to show any consistent EEG differences between monozygotic co-twins, whereas dizygotic pairs often showed EEG discordance. Computerized time-domain (interval-amplitude) analysis failed to show a higher degree of EEG discordance between neurotic MZ co-twins than between co-twins in 25 adult nonneurotic male MZ pairs (age range 18--33; mean age 22.9 years). There were no significant correlations between EEG differences and differences in the neuroticism score among ten MZ pairs traced through a neurotic co-twin. It is concluded that the individual and genetically determined EEG pattern is manifest even in the face of the long-lasting psychological alterations observed in neurotics.
对最初通过一名神经质双胞胎追踪到的17对双胞胎（10对同卵双胞胎和7对异卵双胞胎，年龄在18至63岁之间）的静息脑电图进行了描述，并与这些双胞胎的神经质得分（舍潘克，1974年）进行了比较。根据常规视觉标准进行的脑电图比较未能显示出同卵双胞胎之间存在任何一致的脑电图差异，而异卵双胞胎对常常显示出脑电图不一致。计算机时域（间隔 - 振幅）分析未能显示神经质同卵双胞胎之间的脑电图不一致程度高于25对成年非神经质男性同卵双胞胎（年龄范围18 - 33岁；平均年龄22.9岁）之间的双胞胎。在通过一名神经质双胞胎追踪到的十对同卵双胞胎中，脑电图差异与神经质得分差异之间没有显著相关性。得出的结论是，即使面对在神经质患者中观察到的长期心理改变，个体和基因决定的脑电图模式仍然是明显的。
