Study Summary

This application seeks to determine if neurophysiological metrics of memantine (MEM)-enhanced early auditory information processing (EAIP) in schizophrenia (SZ) mediate gains in auditory processing fidelity (APF) and auditory learning.

Primary Outcome

PPI of the startle reflex is the automatic reduction in startle magnitude (assessed by EMG of orbicularis oculi) when a startling stimulus (40 ms 118 dB(A) noise burst; "PULSE") is preceded (10-120 msec) by a weak stimulus (here a 20 msec burst 16 dB over background "PREPULSE"). A %PPI metric is calculated based on the relative startle magnitude on (PREPULSE + PULSE) trials vs. PULSE alone trials. Possible maximal inhibition is 100%; there is no maximal "negative" value of inhibition. There is n
