Highlights

  • Abnormal oscillatory activity in schizophrenia has been found in a wide range of experimental paradigms [1]

  • Similar to previous approaches [6], focusing on evoked rather than spontaneous activity, we explored the effects of (1) connectivity disturbances (reduced (a) recurrent excitation, (b) pyramidal cell input and (c) total connectivity), (2) prolonged GABAergic decay time constant, and (3) reduced inhibitory output

  • A prolonged GABAergic decay time constant produced a reduction of power at 40 Hz and an increase in power at 20 Hz, for the 40 Hz drive

Summary

Introduction

Abnormal oscillatory activity in schizophrenia has been found in a wide range of experimental paradigms [1]. We used the primary auditory cortex model from Beeman [3] and simulated click train stimulation at 40 Hz, to investigate gamma entrainment deficits, and at 30 Hz as a control condition. Without alterations the model entrained at the driving frequency of 30 and 40 Hz, respectively.
