Correlations between P300 components and regional cerebral blood flows

Abstract

To evaluate the diagnostic importance of event-related potential P300, the correlation between P300 and regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) was investigated in various brain regions in patients with multiple cerebral infarction (16 cases), chronic alcoholism (11 cases) and Alzheimer's disease (5 cases) and in seven healthy people. Cognitive function was also evaluated by mini-mental state examination. P300 latency and rCBF was measured by recording of evoked potentials using an oddball paradigm and stable xenon computed tomographic scanning, respectively. A significant (P<0.05) negative correlation between P300 and rCBF was observed in the thalamus in patients with multiple cerebral infarction and chronic alcoholism. In addition, a significant (P<0.01) negative correlation between P300 latency and the mini-mental state examination score and positive correlation between rCBF in the thalamus and the mini-mental state examination score were observed. These findings suggest that P300 latency is associated with rCBF in the thalamus and cognitive function.
