Background:What are event-related potentials (ERPs)?
• EEG measured brain response
• Electrophysiological response to a stimulus (sensory,
cognitive or motor event)
• A noninvasive way of evaluating brain functioning

Background:What is sensory gating?
• Important function in healthy brain to sort out
”irrelevant” information
avoid overload
psychosis / psychopathology
• Habituation necessary to avoid overload

Background:Testing sensory gating
Prepulse inhibition (PPI)
• A weak prestimulus 30-500 ms before a startling stimulus
• Reduces/gates the amplitude of startle response
• Deficits in schizophrenia spectrum
P50 sensory gating
• Two accoustic clicks in rapid succesion (500 ms apart)
• In healthy subjects potential to the second click is
reduced/gated
• Reduced in schizophrenia
Habituation
• Habituation when repeated trials

Background:Why this study?
Evidence of abnormalities in cognitive and information processing in
PTSD accumulating over the years
Far from being well-characterized
Impaired P50 gating?

Aims
By means of electroencephalography (EEG)
1. To investigate information processing in trauma-
affected refugees with PTSD using PPI and P50
2. To study a possible association with symptom severity.

Results
• No significant differences between patients and controls
in either PPI or P50 suppression
• Patients do not show habituation, where controls do
![Page 21: Event-related potentials in trauma-affected refugees - …€¦ · Event-related potentials in trauma-affected refugees Hanieh Meteran, Bob Oranje, Birte Glenthøj, Erik Vindbjerg,](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022030702/5aeda1357f8b9a3b2e90dd27/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Reflections…
• Even in this ”raw” small sample a difference was found
• Look further into consequences and association with
symptoms
• New interventions?
