Abstract

Mismatch negativity (MMN) is an event-related potential that has been found to be altered in schizophrenia and cannabis use. Objective: to evaluate the predictive and differential capacity of the MMN in schizophrenia and cannabis users. Method: the MMN potential was obtained in a 32-channel EEG in 23 cannabis users with schizophrenia (SCH+CN), 23 patients without consumption (SCH), and 21 cannabis users (CN). Results: for the duration condition, the amplitude of the MMNd of ESQ+CN and ESQ was lower
compared to CN, while for frequency (MMNf) ESQ was lower than ESQ+CN and CN. No differences in latency were found. In the ROC curve, the amplitude of the MMNd discriminated 71.2% of the participants with schizophrenia (p = .016) and the MMNf 82.6% (p = <.001) of them. Conclusions: MMNf is associated with schizophrenia, while MMNd could be useful in monitoring cannabis users.
