- Abstract
- Background: Abnormalities in the 40-Hz auditory steady-state response (ASSR) of the gamma range have been reported in schizophrenia (SZ) and are regarded as important pathophysiological features. Many of the previous studies reported diminished gamma oscillations in SZ, although some studies reported increased spontaneous gamma oscillations. Furthermore, brain morphological correlates of the gamma band ASSR deficits have rarely examined. We investigated different measures of the 40-Hz ASSR and their association with brain volumes and psychological measures of SZ. Methods: The 40-Hz ASSR was measured for 80 dB click sounds (1 ms, 500-ms trains at 40-Hz, with 3050 to 3500 inter-train interval) using electroencephalography with 64 electrodes in 33 patients with SZ (male: 16, female: 17 (age range: 21-60)) and 30 healthy controls (HCs) (male: 13, female: 17 (age range: 23-64)). Four gamma oscillation measures (evoked power, spontaneous oscillations (baseline and total power), and inter-trial phase coherence (ITC)) were assessed. The source activities of the ASSR were also analyzed. Brain volumes were assessed using high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging and voxel-based morphometry and superior temporal gyrus (STG) volume measures were obtained. Results: Patients with SZ had larger total and evoked powers and higher ITC than HCs. Both groups showed significantly different association between mean evoked power and right STG volume. In HCs but not SZ, mean evoked power showed significant positive correlation with right STG volume. In addition, the two groups showed significantly different association between verbal fluency and mean evoked power. High evoked power was significantly correlated with poor verbal fluency in SZ. Conclusions: The current study found increased gamma oscillation in SZ and suggests significant involvement of the STG in gamma oscillations.
