Decreased mismatch negativity and elevated frontal-lateral connectivity in first-episode psychosis

Decreased mismatch negativity (MMN) is a proposed biomarker for psychotic disorders. However, the magnitude of the effect appears to be attenuated in first-episode populations. Furthermore, how mismatch negativity amplitudes are related to brain connectivity in this population is unclear. In this study, we used high-density EEG to record duration-deviant MMN from 22 patients with first-episode psychosis (FEP) and 23 age-matched controls (HC)....
