Abstract
Patients with schizophrenia show alterations in cortical network function and processing of sensory information, which can be monitored by electroencephalography (EEG), particularly auditory event-related potentials (AERP) and auditory steady-state response (ASSR). There is growing evidence that N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor dysfunction contributes to the pathophysiology of schizophrenia. Hence, NMDA receptor antagonists like MK-801 or ketamine can induce symptoms in animals and humans, which resemble those of patients with schizophrenia including cortical network dysfunction.
