“…Our findings appear consistent with previous observations that antisocial individuals have decreased EEG alpha power (Fishbein et al, 1989;Deckel et al, 1996;Lindberg et al, 2005) and have signs of autonomic under arousal (Ortiz & Raine, 2004). The marijuana abusers that used marijuana for more than eight years had significantly lower ahpha2 power, heart rate, diastolic blood pressure while having higher scores on the aggression scale of BDHI and more lifetime ASPD symptoms on the DIS-IV.…”

Objective-Marijuana abuse is associated with neurological changes including increases in frontal EEG alpha during abstinence. Research is needed to assess to what extent these EEG patterns are indicative of cerebral perfusion deficits.Methods-We recorded the resting eyes closed EEG of 75 abstinent marijuana users and 33 control subjects. Fifty-six marijuana users used marijuana for less than eight years and 19 used for eight years or more. The EEG evaluation occurred within 72 hours of admission to an inpatient unit. Fiftynine marijuana users remained abstinent for a month and were tested twice. Supplemental psychological and physiological data were also collected.Results-Log alpha2 and beta2 power at posterior sites were significantly lower for the marijuana abusers that used eight years or more than the other marijuana abusers and the control subjects. These EEG changes continued for the month of abstinence. The marijuana users who used marijuana for more than eight years, also, had lower heart rates and thyroid function (T4) compared to the other marijuana users and the control subjects.Conclusions-Chronic marijuana use was also associated with reduced EEG power in alpha and beta bands at posterior sites. These reductions in EEG power appear to be related to cerebral perfusion deficits and/or thyroid function in marijuana abusers.Significance-Our results suggest EEG, cerebral blood flow velocity, cardiovascular and thyroid function alterations in marijuana abuser with an extended period of use. These alterations reflect under arousal in these systems.

“…[39][40][41][42] Fishbein et al described that aggressive subjects had more delta and less alpha activity in the spontaneous EEG. 43 All these findings support the presence of CNS abnormalities in violent subjects. None of these works include the diagnosis of ASPD in the subjects studied, and the common conduct characteristic among them is the violent behaviour.…”

“…Such correlations were found for all EP components, beginning from the shortest-latency ones (in particular, having mostly the brainstem genesis). It was also mentioned that brainstem auditory EPs were elicited with longer delays in high-aggressive subjects than in persons with lower aggressiveness [186].…”

This review generalizes the data of modern studies of individual peculiarities of the spatial/temporal and amplitude characteristics of evoked EEG potentials (EPs) in humans. A brief description of EPs, characteristics of their components, sources of generation, and functional correlates is presented. Possible effects of the emotional significance of the stimulus and of individual peculiarities of the personality on the amplitude/temporal characteristics of EPs are considered. It is supposed that the aminergic cerebral systems play a crucial role in the formation of peculiarities of emotional responses, expression of the definite EP components, and biologically determined features of the human personality.
