Dear Mike,

it

I have read and re—read your proposal, and find
am not fully acquainted with the status of research into
the treatment of psycopathies, but this proposal has both clinical
and theoretic interest, and should be acceptable. More important, it
should add some solid information to the problem of the relation of

quite

good.

I

brain function to behavior.

it

My suggestions are few:
would be important that
you become better acquinted with the Monroe methods and to that
end
would be useful for you to either try some alpha-chloralose
activations, or to visit his facility and watch Monroe, or both.

it

Secondly, since there will be accurate monitoring of the
blood levels of lithium, there is an interesting problem, that of blood
levels of substances and their relation to the EEG effects, to which you
can contribute. Should you condider taking a blood sample at the time
of the EEG, the value of that measure could be compared to the EEG

values (changes).

application is deficient in not noting the many reports
changes with lithium that have appeared. I recall reports by
Mayfield and Brown (J. Psychiat. Res., 1966), Pfeiffer (J. Clin. Pharmacol.
1969), Platman &amp; Fieve (Br. J. Psychiat, 1969), and more recently, reports
by Johnson, Gershon and Korein, and by Itil-- the citations are not
available to me. In none of these reports have the relation between
drug effects and behavior been verified, and this deficiency is related
in part to the inadequate quantification of the EEG and to the incomplete
nature of the behavioral and blood level studies. I would also suggest
you review the recent V.A. report on blood lithium levels and behavior,
of

The

EEG

edited

by Prien and others

at Perry Point.

As I mentioned, we are prepared to assist you in the
recording of the records in a way that would permit quantification with
the techniques available to us.
My

best regards

and

best wishes.
Sincerely yours,
Fink, M.D.
