Reduced Mismatch Negativity is Associated with Increased Plasma Level of Glutamate in First-episode Psychosis

Abstract Reduced amplitude of mismatch negativity (MMN) is one of the more promising biological markers of schizophrenia. This finding holds true in both early and chronic phases of the disorder, and is compatible with the glutamatergic dysfunction hypothesis. To further establish MMN as a biomarker...
