EEG response to sine wave modulated light in XYY, XXY, and XY men. 1979

J Volavka, and S A Mednick, and L Rasmussen, and T Teasdale

Ten XYY, 14 XXY, and 47 control XY men were located in a birth cohort of non-institutionalized, tall men. Their EEGs were recorded during stimulation with sine were modulated light; 2.5, 5, 10 and 20 Hz were the modulation frequencies. EEGs with and without stimulation were subjected to power spectral analysis. The frequency-specific EEG change due to visual stimulation (i.e. photic driving) was studied. The XYY subjects showed generally lower levels of driving than their XY controls. At stimulation frequencies of 10 and 20 Hz, the EEG driving in the XYY subjects were significantly smaller when measured in the same frequency bands (i.e. 10 and 20 Hz). In addition, stimulation at 10 Hz elicited a significantly smaller response at the third harmonic frequency (i.e. 30 Hz) in the XYY subjects. No consistent differences in EEG driving were detected between the XXY subjects and their XY controls, or between XXY and XYY subjects.

D007713 Klinefelter Syndrome A form of male HYPOGONADISM, characterized by the presence of an extra X CHROMOSOME, small TESTES, seminiferous tubule dysgenesis, elevated levels of GONADOTROPINS, low serum TESTOSTERONE, underdeveloped secondary sex characteristics, and male infertility (INFERTILITY, MALE). Patients tend to have long legs and a slim, tall stature. GYNECOMASTIA is present in many of the patients. The classic form has the karyotype 47,XXY. Several karyotype variants include 48,XXYY; 48,XXXY; 49,XXXXY, and mosaic patterns ( 46,XY/47,XXY; 47,XXY/48,XXXY, etc.). 48,XXYY Syndrome,49,XXXXY Syndrome,Klinefelter Syndrome, Variants,Klinefelter's Syndrome,XXXY Males,XXY Syndrome,XXY Trisomy,Xxyy Syndrome,Klinefelter Syndromes,Klinefelter Syndromes, Variants,Klinefelters Syndrome,Syndrome, Klinefelter,Syndrome, Klinefelter's,Syndrome, Variants Klinefelter,Syndrome, XXY,Syndrome, Xxyy,Syndromes, Klinefelter,Syndromes, Variants Klinefelter,Syndromes, XXY,Syndromes, Xxyy,Trisomies, XXY,Trisomy, XXY,XXXY Male,XXY Syndromes,XXY Trisomies,Xxyy Syndromes

D005071 Evoked Potentials Electrical responses recorded from nerve, muscle, SENSORY RECEPTOR, or area of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM following stimulation. They range from less than a microvolt to several microvolts. The evoked potential can be auditory (EVOKED POTENTIALS, AUDITORY), somatosensory (EVOKED POTENTIALS, SOMATOSENSORY), visual (EVOKED POTENTIALS, VISUAL), or motor (EVOKED POTENTIALS, MOTOR), or other modalities that have been reported.
