Document Summary
1,4-butanediol substance that serves as a prodrug for ghb (precursor of glb) Electroencephalography (eeg): a method for recording the electrical activity of brain areas through electrodes placed on the scalp. Event related potential an eeg recording during a behavioral or cognitive activity. Evoked potential an eeg recording during a specific stimulus presentation. Gamma-hydroxybutyrate (ghb) a substance that serves as both a drug and a neurotransmitter that produces central nervous system depressant effects. Commonly banned as it was used as a date rape drug in sexual assaults. Gamma-butyrolacetone (gbl) a substance that converts to ghb in the liver: ghb overdose: overuse of ghb resulting in nausea, unconsciousness, reduced blood pressure and lowered heart rate. Ghb receptor a g protein coupled receptor for ghb with one known type. Inhalants: vaporous chemicals that elicit psychoactive effects (e. g. glue, paint thinners, gasoline) Sniffing a practice involving the direct inhaling of vapors emitted from a small container or a soaked cloth.
