Overview of P300 oddball and novel studies in subject at clinical high risk for psychosis.

Citation Subjects P300 Paradigm ERP Measures Results
van der Stelt et al. (2005) 10 at-risk subjects, 14 recent-onset SZ, 14 CSZ patients and 14 HC An active auditory oddball
task; Pressing a button for
target tones
P300 oddball Smaller P300 amplitude in high-risk subjects than HC, but comparable with recent-onset and chronic SZ patients.
Bramon et al. (2008) 35 ARMS (7 ARMS-C and 28 ARMS-NC) and 57 HC; An active auditory oddball
task; Pressing a button for
target tones
P300 oddball and N100 Smaller P300 amplitude in ARMS than HC;
No significant differences of P300 amplitude between ARMS-C and ARMS-NC groups.
Ozgurdal et al. (2008) 54 prodromal subjects, 31 EFP, 27 CSZ patients and 54 HC An active auditory oddball
task; Pressing a button for
target tones
P300 oddball Smaller P300 amplitude in prodromal, FEP and CSZ patients than HC;
Large P300 amplitude in prodromal FEP than CSZ patients.
Van Tricht et al (2010) 61 UHR subjects and 28 HC; 18 UHR-Tand43UHR-NT An active auditory oddball
task; Counting target tones
P300 oddball, N1, P2, N2b Smaller P300 amplitude in UHR-T than UHR-NT and HC;
Reduced P300 amplitude related to increased scores of social anhedonia and withdrawal;
Smaller N2b in both UHR-T and UHR-NT than HC.

task; Pressing a button for
target tones
P300 oddball, gray matter volume Smaller P300 amplitude in ARMS than HC;
Positive correlation between P300 amplitude and gray matter loss of the right supramarginal gyrus/ superior temporal gyms.
Atkinson et al. (2012) 30 UHR, 11 FEPand20HC A passive auditory oddball task; MMN, P3a Smaller P3a amplitude in UHR than HC, but marginally smaller P3a amplitude in FEP than HC;
