Objective: To identify P50 suppression in patients with epilepsy, to investigate the effect of seizure control on P50 suppression, and to compare epilepsy patients with individuals with schizophrenia and healthy volunteers. Method: P50 evoked potential parameters and P50 suppression were studied crossectionally in patients with uncontrolled or controlled epilepsy, in individuals with schizophrenia and in healthy volunteers. Results: Individuals with schizophrenia had significantly smaller conditioning stimulus (Si) amplitude, and patients with epilepsy had larger test stimulus (S2) amplitude. Mean S2/S1 ratio was 0.71+/-0.33 for patients with uncontrolled epilepsy; 0.68+/-0.36 for patients with controlled epilepsy; 0.96+/-0.47 for individuals with schizophrenia, and 0.42+/-0.24 for healthy volunteers. Conclusion: The sensory filter of patients with epilepsy is altered, and this alteration is not associated with seizure control. Also, it works differently from the sensory filter of individuals with schizophrenia.
