Preliminary Investigations of the Effects of Sernyl upon Cognitive and Sensory Processes

Bethlem Royal and Maudsley Hospitals

ABSTRACT

Twenty subjects were given Sodium Amytal or Sernyl and the presence of thought disorder measured by Bannister's Test. The results ran counter to expectation, Sernyl subjects producing scores unlike those found in thought disordered schizophrenics. In addition changes in auditory threshold were measured. The two drug groups were significantly differentiated by their threshold change scores. These results are discussed and further investigations suggested.
