Description	Alcohol dependence during withdrawal and also in abstinent period in many cases is related to reduced inhibitory functions and kindling that may appear in the form of psychosensory symptoms similar to temporal lobe epilepsy frequently in conditions of normal EEG and without seizures Measures reflecting interhemispheric information transfer in patients with alcohol dependence, such as electrodermal activity (EDA) might be related to the psychosensory symptoms
