abstract="OBJECTIVE: To investigate P300 and contingent negative variations (CNV) of patients with affective disorder and its clinical significance. METHODS: 39 depressives, 22 maniacs and 33 normal controls were included in this study. Both P300 and CNV were recorded in every subject, using a nicolet spirit instrument. RESULTS: Both depression and mania groups presented prolonged P300-P3b latency and decreased P300-P3 and CNV amplitudes compared with normal controls. Decreased P300 & CNV amplitudes were further related to the history of suicide behavior in the two patient groups. CONCLUSION: The clinical significance of event-related potentials was confirmed in this study, while the biological correlates of suicide behavior need further and intensive study.<p /><p>Language: zh</p>",
