The MMN to duration deviant (d-MMN) amplitude is known to be lower in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) than in healthy controls (HCs). Moreover, the d-MMN is known to be a trait maker of schizophrenia because it is unaffected by the duration of illness. This study aimed to identify robust tools to distinguish adults with ASD from HCs by measuring the d-MMN.Methods: Fifteen adults with ASD (age range, 20– 40 years) and 20 HCs were compared. After excluding patients with a low intelligence quotient, those using central nervous system stimulants, and those with excessive alcohol consumption, we conducted an auditory oddball task to measure the d-MMN.Results: Compared with HCs, the patients with ASD showed significantly shorter d-MMN latencies for Fz and Cz.Conclusion: The present findings suggest that the automatic cognitive function indicated by MMN amplitude might be improved by growth. Alternatively, the hypersensitivity indicated by d-MMN latencies suggests that it could persist into adulthood.Significance: The d-MMN latency was shortened in patients with ASD compared with HCs. We believe that this is the first report to reveal that hypersensitivity in ASD as reflected by a shortened d-MMN latency should be maintained, even in adults.Keywords: event-related potential, mismatch negativity, autism spectrum disorder, developmental disorder |
