AB  - Loudness dependence of auditory evoked potentials (LDAEP) is a widely used EEG-based biomarker for central serotonergic activity. Serotonin has been shown to be associated with different psychiatric disorders such as depression and schizophrenia. Despite its clinical significance, the underlying neurochemical mechanism of this promising marker is not fully understood, and further research is needed to improve its validity. Other neurotransmitters might have a significant impact on this measure. Thus, we assessed the inhibitory action through individual GABA/H20 concentrations and GABA/glutamate ratios by means of magnetic resonance spectroscopy at 3T in healthy subjects. The measurements were assessed in the primary auditory cortex to investigate the association with the LDAEP, whose generators are mainly in the primary auditory cortex. For the first time, this study examines the link between GABAergic neurotransmission and LDAEP, and the data preliminary show that GABA may not contribute to the generation of EEG-based LDAEP.
