Abstract

BACKGROUND: Mismatch negativity (MMN) is a component of the auditory event-related potential (ERP) that is elicited during a passive oddball paradigm where task-irrelevant infrequent deviants are presented in a stream of more frequent standard stimuli. MMN is believed to index a preattentive stage of auditory information processing closely linked to NMDA receptor (NMDAR) function. Ketamine is thou…
