Evaluation of resting state gamma power as a response marker in schizophrenia

An abnormal activity in the electroencephalography (EEG) gamma band (>30 Hz) has been demonstrated in schizophrenia and this has been suggested to be reflecting a deficit in the development and maturation of the basic cognitive functions of attention, working memory and sensory processing. Hypothesizing gamma oscillatory activity as a potential EEG biomarker to antipsychotic response in schizophrenia, the present study aimed at measuring baseline spontaneous gamma activity in schizophrenia patients, and evaluating its response to antipsychotic treatment over 8 weeks.
