摘要：

The anxiolytic lorazepam was studied for its effects on contrast sensitivity to gratings flickering in counterphase in normal volunteers. The drug significantly reduced contrast sensitivity at low spatial frequencies in a dose-related manner. The results are discussed with reference to possible GABA-mediated processes in the retina and lateral geniculate nucleus.
