Abstract
This study examined the test-retest reliability of the error-related negativity (ERN) and error positivity (Pe) amplitudes using a Flanker task in 118 neurotypical children and 53 adults before and after latency jitter adjustments. The reliability of the ERN and Pe amplitudes was moderate for children and moderate to strong for adults. The latency variability adjustment did not improve the reliability of the ERN and Pe amplitudes for either group, suggesting that latency variability may be a trait-like measure. For comparison purposes, the reliability of the stimulus-locked ERPs was strong for correct trials, yet the reliability was weak for incorrect trials.

Abstract
The average N100 (a negative response occurring around 100 ms poststimulus) component of the auditory evoked potential (EP) has been recently used in the study of schizophrenia. Averaging, however, eliminates all temporal variability of the recorded signals and, therefore, hampers the exploration of the temporal dynamics underlying the generation of the N100 component. In this study, we analyzed EPs on a single-trial basis using an iterative independent component analysis procedure that is capable of extracting individual components out of an entire EP waveform. This approach allowed estimation of an N100 in each single trial and measurement of its morphological features such as polarity, which could be either negative (most frequently) or positive (less frequently). In the latter case, the N100 component was termed aberrant. We analyzed responses from 23 normal controls (NC) and 15 schizophrenia (SZ) patients in a paired stimulus paradigm, where a first stimulus S(1) was followed by a second one S(2) 0.5 s later. To compare N100 responses within and across the two subject groups, we defined a negative polarity index NPI as the percentage of single trials that had a negative polarity N100. Our results show significantly higher NPI values in NC compared to SZ, for both the S(1) and S(2) responses. Additionally, the difference in NPI values between the S(1) and S(2) responses was significant in NC but not in SZ. We conclude that both normal and schizophrenia subjects exhibit aberrant N100 responses, but these events are more frequent in the SZ patient group. The higher number of aberrant responses can explain the lower amplitude EPs typically observed in schizophrenia, and may be one of the factors contributing to sensory gating deficits consistently reported in these patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The catechol-O-methyltransferase (COMT) Val(108/158)Met polymorphism of the dopamine system is essential for prefrontal cortex processing capacity and efficiency. In addition, dopaminergic neurotransmission is also associated with the sensory gating phenomenon protecting the cerebral cortex from information overload. It is however unclear if COMT genotype as a predictor of prefrontal efficiency modulates sensory gating on the level of the auditory cortex, i.e. the gating of the auditory evoked P50 and N100 components. METHODS P50 and N100 gating and COMT Val(108/158)Met genotype were determined in 282 healthy subjects of German descent carefully screened for psychiatric or neurological disorders. RESULTS A significant effect of the COMT genotype was observed for N100 gating (F=4.510, df=2, p=0.012) but not for P50 gating (F=0.376, df=2, p=0.687). Contrast analysis showed that Met/Met individuals had poorer N100 gating compared to Val/Met (F=-12.931, p=0.003) and the Val/Val individuals (F=-11.056, p=0.057). CONCLUSION The results indicate that a high prefrontal efficiency as suggested by the COMT Met/Met genotype is associated with to a poor sensory gating of the N100 component. This would fit in a model where a high prefrontal processing capacity allows a pronounced afferent input of sensory information from the auditory cortex as reflected by a poor sensory gating. The more pronounced prefrontal contribution to the N100 compared to the P50 component may explain the exclusive genotype association with the N100 sensory gating. This preliminary model should be replicated and validated in future investigations.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To investigate if the reduced P50, N100 and P200 auditory evoked potential (EP) components and gating deficits seen in schizophrenia can be explained in terms of response incompleteness. METHODS Twenty-five healthy and schizophrenia participants were studied using pairs of 1000Hz tones (S1 and S2, 0.5s apart) separated by 8.0s. A correlation-based clustering method identified the responses containing P50, N100, and/or P200 related-activity. RESULTS Schizophrenia participants produced fewer S1 and S2 responses containing all three EP components than healthy participants. Healthy participants, but not the patient population, produced fewer and smaller S2 than S1 responses containing all three EP components. However, the S2 responses following complete S1 responses were smaller than the complete S1 responses in both populations. CONCLUSIONS The gating deficits observed in schizophrenia are due to two mechanisms. First, the S1 response consistency is less in schizophrenia than in health. Second, the S2 responses are attenuated less in schizophrenia. SIGNIFICANCE This research contributes to the understanding of response variability and sensory gating in health and schizophrenia. It also extends previous reports that fewer and smaller P300 components are produced in schizophrenia than in health to the mid-latency component range.

Abstract
The clinical and neuro-cognitive correlates of the P50 and N100 auditory evoked responses gating deficits in schizophrenia have thus far eluded identification. Based on our prior results, we hypothesized that, in addition to the P50, gating of the N100 is significantly decreased in schizophrenia and that this deficit correlates with the negative symptoms dimension of schizophrenia. Amplitudes and gating measures of the P50 and N100 were compared between stable out-patients (N=45) (mainly on atypical antipsychotics) with chronic schizophrenia and age- and gender-matched healthy controls (N=49) and the clinical correlates examined. All subjects underwent the paired-stimulus paradigm in 3 or 4 different days. Data from day one and the mean of all days (MOAD) were examined. P50 and N100 amplitudes and gating measures were correlated with PANSS and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test data. Utilizing day one data, no amplitude or gating measures were significantly different between the groups. Utilizing MOAD data, both P50 and N100 gating were significantly decreased in schizophrenia patients. The N100 gating deficit correlated with the negative-symptoms cluster and measures of frontal lobe dysfunction. The data suggest a correlation between N100 gating deficit and the negative-cognitive deficits dimensions of schizophrenia. Data also suggest that improving the signal to noise ratio (MOAD data) increases the sensitivity for detecting gating abnormalities and assessing their clinical correlates.

Abstract
The N100 component of the auditory evoked potential (EP) has been recently used to study sensory gating deficits in schizophrenia subjects compared to normal controls. Previously, we used selective averaging to show phase synchronization differences in brain activity between the two populations. In this study, we employed our recently developed iterative independent component analysis (iICA) procedure to measure single-trial EPs in the context of a double-stimulus paradigm. Using the amplitude and latency of the N100 components of the first and second stimuli responses obtained from iICA and four different classification algorithms we were able to accurately classify subjects with 100% sensitivity and 100% specificity. In contrast, the same amplitude and latency features computed from average EPs provided only 69% classification accuracy, with 63% sensitivity and 75% specificity, respectively. We conclude that inter-trial temporal variability plays a significant role in the well-known sensory gating deficits found in schizophrenia patients.

Abstract
Disturbances in integrative function have been consistentLy described in psychotic disorder; for instance, prepulse inhibition of the startle reflex (startle-PPI) which is a marker of sensory gating, is deficient in persons with schizophrenia. The N-methyl-D-aspartate antagonist ketamine produces in control subjects a spectrum of neurobehavioural symptoms like encountered in schizophrenia, and disrupts startle-PPI in animals. In the present study, we investigated in 12 healthy subjects whether ketamine would reduce sensory-gating in auditory responses at doses which produce psychotic symptoms. In a double-blind, crossover design loading doses of 0.024, 0.081 and 0.27 mg/kg or saline were employed, followed by maintenance infusion for 120 min. A passive paradigm has been developed which consisted in tone bursts, preceded or not by a (near-threshold) click at intervals of 100 ms or 500 ms. Brain electromagnetic activity imaging of the responses to sound stimuli has been carried out by way of a 148-channel magnetoencephalography-system. Actual evoked response amplitudes and underlying equivalent current dipole strengths have been compared to multi-electrode evoked potentials from the scalp. A click stimulus is capable to inhibit test responses under placebo at the 100 ms interval. During maintenance infusion of ketamine at steady-state (for >30 min) after 0.27 mg/kg, no such amplitude changes were observed anymore (p <0.05) and under these circumstances significant increases in Brief Psychiatric Rating scale and Scale for the Assessment of Negative Symptoms scores were evidenced (p < 0.001). Intermediate effects have been observed when the dose was lowered to 0.081 mg/kg. The present results have shown that ketamine may induce a psychotic-like clinical state associated with gating deficits in healthy subjects.
