Title: Repetition-Dependent Adaptation and Prediction Error Signalling in Schizophrenia Patients With Auditory Hallucinations: A Roving Mismatch Negativity Study. Author: Bose A, Nayok SB, Pathak H, Bagali KB, Chhabra H, Suhas S, Shivakumar V, Sreeraj VS, Narayanaswamy JC, Venkatasubramanian G. Journal: Asian J Psychiatr; 2024 Sep; 99():104158. PubMed ID: 39032222. Abstract: BACKGROUND: Dysregulated prediction error-signalling may explain auditory hallucinations in schizophrenia (SZ-AH). Roving mismatch negativity (rMMN) is an event-related potential (ERP) index where the deviant tone becomes the new standard with repetitions. Longer repetitions of standard stimuli yield a more positive sensory-adaptation response (Repetition Positivity-RP), elicit a stronger deviance-detection when interrupted (deviant negativity-DN), and the difference waveform between them reflects the strength of prediction-error signalling (mismatch negativity-MMN). METHODS: Twenty-three SZ-AH patients and twenty-three healthy controls (HC) underwent rMMN assessment. Various standard stimuli were repeated in sets of 3, 8 and 33 yielding three components for RP (RP3, RP8, RP33), DN (DN3, DN8, DN33), and MMN (MMN3, MMN8, MMN33). Amplitudes and latencies were compared across groups. Correlation between (a) rMMN amplitudes and latencies, and clinical variables in SZ-AH, and (b) the RP-DN amplitude pair for all three repetition sets (3, 8, 33) were also examined. RESULTS: All DN and MMN33 amplitudes were significantly suppressed in SZ-AH, while RP amplitudes were not. MMN33 latency was significantly longer in SZ-AH than HC. A few amplitudes and latencies significantly correlated with the frequency of AH. HC showed a significant positive correlation between RP-DN amplitude pairs for sets of 3 and 8 but not for 33; SZ-AH group's correlation profile was opposite to this. DISCUSSION: The link between repetition-dependent sensory-adaptation and deviance-detection is perturbed in SZ-AH. The unimpaired RP profile in SZ-AH is due to potential interference of AH with auditory information processing, and does not indicate a preserved short-term plasticity of the echoic memory trace.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
