Neurophysiological signs of brain damage due to glue sniffing.

R Cooper, P Newton, M Reed.   

Abstract

Recordings of the brain electrical responses to pattern reversal (checkerboard) visual stimuli showed significantly increased latencies in a group of 12 young people who had been sniffing glue over a prolonged period. Only small improvements were observed in two people who had repeat recordings after 6 months' abstinence. These results show that chronic glue sniffing can lead to long lasting brain damage.
