[Neuropsychological parameters of droperidol-induced psychoses]

To each of twelve normal subjects 140 to 200 mg of droperidol were administered. The psychopathological (temporary hallucinatory syndrome), electroencephalographic (distinct posterior theta groups), electromyographic and electroneurographic (H amplitude depression), as well as electrocardiographic (tachycardia, extrasystoles) results are discussed with reference to possible mechanisms of action.
