- Abstract
Presents a study to investigate the effect of a single dose of levodopa on information processing in healthy human subjects using the additive-factor method. Methods; Results; Conclusion that these results show that levodopa specifically affects the stimulus preprocessing stage, which suggests that the dopaminergic system plays a role in sensory processing, possibly by acting on the level of arousal.
