Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To study the phase stability of the 40Hz auditory steady-state response (ASSR) in Sz, and in addition, to investigate inter-hemispheric phase synchronization using ipsilateral and contralateral hemisphere gamma band ASSRs. METHODS: Whole head magnetoencephalography (MEG) was used to detect ASSR from both hemispheres in Sz patients and their control counterparts. Source localization, spatial and temporal filtering were performed to infer gamma band activity from the neural generators of the ASSR. The response gamma band phase stability relative to a reference signal was quantified using the phase synchronization index (PSI). RESULTS: Results indicated reduced phase synchronization of the ASSR and the stimulus reference signal in Sz patients compared to control subjects, in addition to reduced inter-hemispheric phase synchronization between contralateral and ipsilateral hemispheric responses in Sz patients. CONCLUSIONS: Greater intra and inter hemispheric fluctuations of ASSR gamma band phase synchronization in Sz add to previous studies suggesting timing deficiencies within neural populations, possibly caused by impairments of neural network parameters. SIGNIFICANCE: This study provides experimental support that may aid in understanding the dynamics of neural phase synchrony caused by modifications of underlying neurotransmitter systems, as reflected in disease states such as schizophrenia. 2009 International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology.
