The influence of bromazepam on cortical power distribution
Sampaio,Isabel; Puga,Fernanda; Veiga,Heloisa; Cagy,Mauricio; Piedade,Roberto; Ribeiro,PedroThe EEG has been widely employed in the assessment of electrophysiological changes induced by distinct medications. Its sensibility in detecting alterations produced by a specific substance may be enhanced by methods of quantitative analyses (qEEG). The present study aimed at investigating the modulatory effects of bromazepam on brain dynamics. The effects of bromazepam (3mg) on EEG power distribution were test...
Influence of bromazepam on cortical interhemispheric coherence
Sampaio,Isabel; Puga,Fernanda; Veiga,Heloisa; Cagy,Maurício; Piedade,Roberto; Ribeiro,PedroBenzodiazepines are among the most commonly prescribed medications due to their therapeutic efficacy in reducing anxiety and inducing sleep. Consequently, they have been widely employed in the pharmacological treatment of several disorders. Nevertheless, few studies have analyzed the effects of bromazepam in electroencephalographic activity (EEG). The present study aimed at investigating the modulatory effects ...
The effects of bromazepam on the early stage of visual information processing (...
Puga,Fernanda; Sampaio,Isabel; Veiga,Heloisa; Ferreira,Camila; Cagy,Maurício; Piedade,Roberto; Ribeiro,PedroThe early stages of visual information processing, involving the detection and perception of simple visual stimuli, have been demonstrated to be sensitive to psychotropic agents. The present study investigated the effects of an acute dose of bromazepam (3 mg), compared with placebo, on the P100 component of the visual evoked potential and reaction time. The sample, consisting of 14 healthy subjects (6 male and ...
Analysis of the influence of bromazepam on cognitive performance through the vi...
Puga,Fernanda; Veiga,Heloisa; Cagy,Maurício; McDowell,Kaleb; Piedade,Roberto; Ribeiro,PedroBenzodiazepines have been used in the pharmacological treatment of anxiety for over four decades. However, very few studies have combined bromazepam and event-related potentials (ERP). The present study aimed at investigating the modulatory effects of this drug on brain dynamics. Specifically, the effects of bromazepam (3mg) on the P300 component of the ERP were tested in a double-blind experiment. The sample, ...
