The authors conceded that there was partial duplication between the images shown in Fig. 7B and F, although they were unable to access the related raw data as the experiments had been performed almost 10 years ago. Secondly, the authors informed the Editor that the corresponding author did not know he was on the author list at the time of submission.Although the authors' were granted permission to publish the Corrigendum, the Editor now considers that the paper should be retracted on account of the uncertainties in the presented revised data and the authors' admission concerning the corresponding author. Therefore, this paper has been retracted from the Journal. The authors are in agreement with the decision to retract the article. The Editor apologizes for any inconvenience caused.


Dear editor,1. Recently, we have demonstrated that atrial cardiomyocytes express ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) in high abundance, inhibition of which can significantly reduce the incidence of AF and effectively block AF progression in an experimental AF model using isolated rat hearts2. However, to date, none of medicines targeting iGluRs has been prescribed in clinical AF treatment. Memantine is a commonly used drug in clinic for the treatment of Alzheimer’s disease by antagonizing iGluRs in neurons3. We therefore hypothesized that memantine may also exert an effect against AF by blocking iGluRs in atrial cardiomyocytes.Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia, can lead to severe consequences such as heart failure and stroke4. As shown in Fig. First, we assessed the effect of memantine on the prevention and termination of AF. To examine the preventive effect of memantine on AF, we constructed three in vitro rat AF models, covering three common clinical types of AF, i.e., stretch-induced AF, cholinergic AF and ischemia-induced AF3, but whether it targets iGluRs of atrial cardiomyocytes is still unknown. To answer this question, we first measured the effect of memantine on iGluR-gated currents  in atrial cardiomyocytes. As shown in Fig. 2+ entry-induced Ca2+ overload5, and memantine can alleviate Ca2+ overload by suppressing the iGluRs6. Thus, our second experiment assessed the effect of memantine on Ca2+ leakage in atrial cardiomyocytes from the AF rats, showing 100 μM memantine significantly decreased the Ca2+ spark frequency  and atrial reentry8. To evaluate the role of memantine in these Ca2+ leakage-mediated events, we performed optical mapping which showed that 100 μM memantine reduced not only the incidence of ectopic activity (from 87.5 to 10%) in the isolated rat atrial myocardium subjected to 5 Hz pacing and hypoxia, but also the incidence of reentry (from 80% to 9.1%) in the isolated atrial myocardium from the AF rats , one of the important sources of triggered activity or ectopic activity10. Based on this, we explored whether memantine affects DADs of atrial cardiomyocytes from the AF rats. Our patch-clamp data revealed that 100 μM memantine did decrease the percentage of atrial cardiomyocytes with DADs (from 80% to 16.6%) in rat atrial cardiomyocytes challenged with 2 Hz pacing stimulation  In the central nervous system, memantine targets neuronal iGluRsats Fig. . (4) Ca2ion Fig. . This seFinally, we evaluated the potential effect of memantine on aberrant electrophysiological events associated with AF in human with human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived atrial cardiomyocytes (iPSC-ACMs). By using a multielectrode array, we revealed that 50 μM memantine effectively decreased the percentage of cells with arrhythmic events from 93.8% to 21.9% Fig. . The pat3. For the first time, we here showed the beneficial effects of memantine on animal AF models. The new application of old medicines may greatly shorten the process of clinical drug development. We expect that memantine will eventually be clinically proven to be effective in the prevention and termination of AF, however, for the first step, clinical trials of memantine for AF are urgently needed.In summary, memantine can effectively prevent and terminate AF by blocking endogenous iGluRs in atrial cardiomyocytes, providing a new strategy for the clinical treatment of AF. Memantine has been widely prescribed for the treatment of Alzheimer’s diseaseSupplementary information

Background: Medical University of South Carolina Health began vaccinating care team members December 15, 2020, with the Pfizer-BioNTech SARS-CoV-2 mRNA vaccine. We report surveillance data for cases diagnosed following vaccination. Methods: Care team members (CTMs) diagnosed with COVID-19 following SARS-CoV-2 vaccination were self-identified during online electronic contact-tracing surveys. Demographic data, symptoms, and dates of symptoms were recorded. CTMs testing positive at MUSC were linked to viral burden data from nasopharyngeal swabs tested on Abbott PCR platforms. Results: As of January 31, 2021, 111 CTMs tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 following vaccination: 99 and 12 after 1 and 2 doses, respectively, at medians of 10 days  and 5 days , respectively, from vaccination to testing. Of 2 cases that tested positive >14 days from dose 2, CTMs had symptom onset at 4 and 12 days from dose 2. Among CTMs reporting symptoms, 104 did so after a median of 7 days  from vaccination to symptom onset, with 8 reporting symptoms before vaccination, 9 on the day of vaccination, and 3 CTMs at 1 day after vaccination, 6 CTMs at 2 days after vaccination, and 11 CTMs at 3 days after vaccination. Overall, 86 (78%) of 111 were female and 95 (86%) of 111 were white. The median age was 44 years . Clinical job roles were most frequently nurses , physicians or physician extenders , and CTMs with no patient contact . Assessment by the contact-tracing team assigned sources as household clusters , local transmission , occupational acquisition from coworkers , travel related , and unknown . Only 32 (32%) CTMs were compliant with physical distancing. Among 104 CTMs reporting symptoms, cough (75%), headache (71%), rhinorrhea (63%), myalgia (60%), sore throat (48%), anosmia (44%), and subjective fever (40%) were the most commonly reported symptoms. Among 54 symptomatic CTMs with available viral-load data, the median and mean cycle numbers (Cn) were 19.98 and 21.91, respectively, for samples tested a median 3 days from symptom onset. Asymptomatic and symptomatic CTMs had a median Cn of 30.1 vs 20.9, respectively (p <0.001) and overall 50% of vaccinated CTMs had Cn >20, with no significant effect seen by vaccine dose (Figure Conclusions: Most COVID-19 cases following vaccination occurred in CTMs with infection incubating prior to vaccination. No significant attenuation of viral load is apparent among vaccinated CTMs with COVID-19, but asymptomatic CTMs diagnosed with COVID-19 following vaccination appear to have resolved infections. Our data reinforce the need to adhere to public health measures by people who have been vaccinated.Funding: NoDisclosures: None

Relative to pure NH2-UiO-66, Pt@NH2-UiO-66, and NH2-UiO-66/CdS samples, the Pt@NH2-UiO-66/CdS composite exhibits much higher hydrogen yields with an apparent quantum efficiency of 40.3% at 400 nm irradiation and stability over the most MOF-based photocatalysts. Transient absorption measurements reveal spatial charge-separation dynamics in the composites. The catalyst’s high activity and durability are attributed to charge separation following an efficient photogenerated hole-transfer band-trap pathway. This work holds promise for enhanced MOF-based photocatalysis using efficient hole-transfer routes.Efficient electron-hole separation and carrier utilization are key factors in photocatalytic systems. Here, we use a metal-organic framework (NH 2-UiO-66/CdS, resulting in photocatalytic hydrogen evolution with good stability and a quantum efficiency of 40.3% at 400 nm irradiation.Efficient electron-hole separation and carrier utilization are key factors in photosynthetic systems. Here, the authors achieve efficient charge separation following a photogenerated hole-transfer band-trap pathway in the ternary composite Pt@NH Since Fujishima and Honda first reported solar energy conversion for hydrogen evolution using semiconductor-based photocatalysts, we have witnessed the development of artificial photocatalytic systems for enhanced hydrogen evolution reactions (HER)10. The primary drawback in using a pure semiconductor was fast recombination of photoinduced carriers, which seriously limited photocatalytic efficiency12. Meanwhile, co-catalysts, such as Pt nanoparticles (NPs) and RuO2, have been alternatives that provide an active center for redox reductions, reduce overpotentials for HER or oxidation reactions, and promote fast separations of photoinduced electrons and holes16. Thus, complex heterostructures with spatial charge separations via fine control of photoinduced carrier dynamics have been fabricated to improve photocatalytic activity.Photocatalytic hydrogen evolution via water splitting is a promising way to mitigate current energy and environmental issues18, exhibit poor visible-light absorption. The introduction of amino groups into the terephthalic acid ligands of UiO-66 (Zr) broaden light absorption to the visible region, and the presence of amino groups does not affect the structural stability of the UiO-66 host19. Photoinduced electron dynamics in MOFs have been well investigated, but the kinetics of photogenerated holes and their effect on photocatalytic activity remain poorly understood. Cadmium sulfide (CdS) has been the preferred visible-light photocatalyst for HER. However, photoinduced corrosion and fast recombination of photoinduced electron−hole pairs have severely restricted improvements in its catalytic activity. Thus, fine-tuning photoinduced carrier dynamics is necessary to suppress corrosion by accumulated holes27.Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous crystalline materials with high specific-surface areas, and tunable structures and functionalities. As alternatives to semiconductor photocatalysts that are receiving much interest in a wide range of applications. Unfortunately, MOFs, such as UiO-66 (Zr)2-UiO-66/CdS). Relative to other MOF-based systems , revealed that a unique hole-transfer pathway was responsible for the enhanced and stable HER. The present results could help design spatial, multi-phase, heterostructured photocatalysts with high photocatalytic activity and facile control of photoinduced carrier dynamics.Here, we synthesized a spatial charge structure for the MOF-based photocatalyst  by in-situ encapsulation of Pt nanoparticles (NPs) into MOFs having regular 100-nm octahedral shapes, and by growing CdS on the outer MOF surface, as shown in Supplementary Fig. 2-UiO-66 NCs with regular octahedral structures, which were consistent with scanning electron microscopy images in Supplementary Fig. 2-UiO-66, Pt@NH2-UiO-66/CdS HNCs were formed with a spatial configuration of inner Pt NPs and outer CdS, as shown in Fig. 2-UiO-66/CdS HNCs that shows the CdS NPs attached to the surface of the MOFs. X-ray diffraction patterns in Supplementary Fig. 2-UiO-66/CdS HNCs were composed of NH2-UiO-66 and zinc blend CdS, with Joint Committee on Power Diffraction Standards (JCPDS) no. 10-0454 phases. The Zr/Cd weight ratio was 0.28:14.3, as determined by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectroscopy (ICP-OES). However, the Pt NPs did not display a diffraction peak due to the low amount of Pt (about 0.023 wt %) determined by ICP-OES , Pt@NH2-UiO-66 (722 m2 g−1), Pt@NH2-UiO-66/CdS (612 m2 g−1) HNCs, the smaller specific-surface area of Pt@NH2-UiO-66/CdS indicated that the CdS occupies the surface sites of the MOF. In addition, compared with that of NH2-UiO-66 and Pt@NH2-UiO-66, the porous volume of Pt@NH2-UiO-66/CdS was increased due to the effects of CdS NPs. We also further verified the composition and interface characteristics of Pt@NH2-UiO-66/CdS composites by the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements , Pt@NH2-UiO-66 (0.12 mmol h−1 g−1), NH2-UiO-66/CdS . The photocatalytic H2 evolution has increased with the increase of the amount of catalyst, then decreased when the dosage of catalyst was 10 mg 32  of Pt@NH2-UiO-66/CdS shown in Fig. 2-UiO-66/CdS had the highest photocatalytic activity and stability, due to the spatial separation of the photoinduced electrons and holes. To reveal the separation and recombination of these charge carriers, we characterized the photoluminescence (PL), transient photocurrent spectra and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. Pt@NH2-UiO-66/CdS exhibited a very low fluorescence intensity relative to that for NH2-UiO-66, Pt@NH2-UiO-66 and NH2-UiO-66/CdS  and 225 ps (τ2), respectively, which may be attributed to electron-trap states in the intermediate band37. For Pt@NH2-UiO-66, similar features were observed in Fig. 2-UiO-66/CdS shown in Fig. 2-UiO-66/CdS , suggesting electron transfers from CdS to NH2-UiO-66. The fast recovery with the 9.3-ps time constant indicated that the electron from NH2-UiO-66 transferred to the Pt phase. The fs TAS suggested that the electron transferred from CdS to NH2-UiO-66, and was then trapped at NH2-UiO-66 before finally transferring to the Pt phase. The hole from NH2-UiO-66 was transferred to CdS. Time-resolved PL spectroscopy was used to investigate the lifetimes of photoinduced carriers in Pt@NH2-UiO-66/CdS33. Figure 2-UiO-66, Pt@NH2-UiO-66, NH2-UiO-66/CdS and Pt@NH2-UiO-66/CdS, respectively  measurements were performed to track photoinduced carrier dynamics to investigate electron and hole transfers in the mechanism of photocatalytic HER.

The 40-Hz auditory steady-state response (ASSR) has received special attention as an index of gamma oscillations owing to its association with various neuropsychiatric disorders including schizophrenia. When a periodic stimulus is presented, oscillatory responses are often elicited not only at the stimulus frequency, but also at its harmonic frequencies. However, little is known about the effect of 40-Hz subharmonic stimuli on the activity of the 40-Hz ASSR. In the present magnetoencephalography study, we focused on the nature of oscillation harmonics and examined oscillations in a wide frequency range using a time-frequency analysis during the 6.67-, 8-, 10-, 13.3-, 20-, and 40-Hz auditory stimuli in 23 healthy subjects. The results suggested that the 40-Hz ASSR represents activation of a specific circuit tuned to this frequency. Particularly, oscillations elicited by 13.3- and 20-Hz stimuli exhibited significant enhancement at 40 Hz without changing those at the stimulus frequency. In addition, it was found that there was a non-linear response to stimulation in the beta band. We also demonstrated that the inhibition of beta to low-gamma oscillations by the 40-Hz circuit contributed to the violation of the rule that harmonic oscillations gradually decrease at higher frequencies. These findings can advance our understanding of oscillatory abnormalities in patients with schizophrenia in the future. Steady-state responses (SSRs) are evoked oscillatory responses driven by a train of stimuli delivered at a sufficiently high rate. SSRs can be recorded non-invasively using electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephalography (MEG) in different sensory modalities. Auditory steady-state responses (ASSRs) reach maximum amplitude at approximately 40 Hz , which iIn a frequency domain representation, when a periodic stimulus that induces SSR is presented, brain oscillatory responses are elicited not only at the stimulus frequency, but also may occur at its harmonic frequencies, which are integral multiples of the stimulus frequency . For exaWe enrolled 23 healthy volunteers (9 women and 14 men) aged 24–62 . The subjects were not using any medications at the time of testing and had no history of mental or neurological illnesses or substance misuse in the previous 2 years. The patients had a hearing threshold of <25 dB at 1,000 Hz, which was assessed using an audiometer .via earpieces , and the sound pressure was controlled with an audiometer .Auditory stimuli were induced using repeats of a brief pure tone. The pure tone was 800 Hz in frequency, and the sound pressure level was 70 dB. Six pure tones were played in durations of 150, 125, 100, 75, 50, and 25 ms . Each tone was repeated until the time threshold of 1,000 ms was reached. Therefore, there were six frequency conditions: 6.67, 8, 10, 13.33, 20, and 40 Hz. The sound stimulus was presented binaurally Magnetic signals were recorded using a 306-channel whole-head MEG system  composed of 102 identical triple sensor elements. Three separate measurements of magnetic fields were obtained from each sensor element’s two orthogonal planar gradiometers, one magnetometer, and multi-superconducting quantum interference device. The MEG signals were recorded using 204 planar-type gradiometers. Signals were captured using a 0.1–300 Hz band-pass filter and were digitized at 1,000 Hz. Epochs with MEG signals of >2.7 pT/cm were excluded from the average.The experiments were conducted in a silent, magnetically protected room. The participants were instructed to sit in a chair and watch a silent movie projected on a screen 1.5 m in front of them and to ignore the auditory stimulation. The six auditory stimuli were randomly presented with an even probability using a stimulus onset asynchrony of 1,500 ms. A total of at least 100 artifact-free epochs were averaged for each stimulus per participant.Signal space projection was used to suppress environmental noise. Artifacts due to eye blinks or the heart were removed using independent component analysis if visually detectable. Then, dipole analyses were performed to estimate an equivalent current dipole for the main component of the ASSR by hemisphere. In the present study, only dipole analysis was used for source estimation. For dipole analyses, the Brain Electrical Source Analysis software package  was used. The MEG waveforms of the 40-Hz condition were averaged across 100 trials and were digitally filtered with a band-pass filter of 37.5–42.5 Hz. The equivalent current dipole for the main component of the ASSR was estimated per hemisphere in a time window of 200–1,000 ms. The left and right dipoles for the main components of the 40 Hz ASSR were estimated for all 23 subjects. However, in some cases, we could not estimate the dipoles in other conditions. Therefore, as in a previous study , the obtPost hoc paired comparisons were performed using Bonferroni adjusted t-tests when the hemisphere × PrePost interaction effects were significant. Post/Pre ratios of amplitude and ITPC at 40 Hz for conditions with significant increases were compared using two-way ANOVA with hemisphere and stimulus frequency as independent variables, respectively. To compare the differences between the conditions, post hoc multiple comparisons were performed using Bonferroni adjusted t-tests. All statistical analyses were performed at p ≤ 0.05.We performed three analyses. First, to confirm the trend that the amplitude and ITPC of oscillations decrease with increasing harmonic number, Post/Pre ratios from the first to fifth harmonics were compared without distinguishing the left and right hemispheres in five conditions (not the 40-Hz condition) using one-way repeated-measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) with harmonic as an independent variable. Here, the first harmonic was used as the fundamental stimulus frequency. The integer frequencies closest to the harmonic frequencies were used for the analysis under the 6.67- and 13.3-Hz conditions. Then, a two-way ANOVA was performed with hemisphere and PrePost as independent variables, to compare Pre and Post at 4–100 Hz under each condition to examine whether a distinct signal-to-noise ratio by harmonics was obtained for amplitude and ITPC, respectively. F = 16.35, p = 4.97 × 10–13] and the ITPC . Although the ITPC was smallest for the fifth harmonic, the first to third harmonics did not show a clear gradual decrease, which appeared to depend on the specific increase at 40 Hz  = 25.17, p = 7.50 × 10–20] and the ITPC . However, the data from each sound stimulus did not follow this trend.The train of six pure tones induced an increase in the amplitude and ITPC of oscillations at almost all stimulus frequencies and some of its harmonic frequencies. The ratio of the average amplitude and ITPC relative to the baseline (Post/Pre ratio) for each frequency in all conditions are shown in at 40 Hz . Therefop < 0.012) and second  harmonics at 40 Hz, respectively, but not around the first harmonic  revealed that PrePost significantly affected the oscillation amplitude around the first harmonic under the 6.67, 8, 10, and 40 Hz conditions. Under these four conditions, no significant increase in the amplitude of other harmonics was observed. In the 13.3 and 20 Hz conditions, a significant increase in the amplitude was observed around the third , 8 Hz , 10 Hz , 13.3 Hz , 20 Hz , and 40 Hz conditions   = 6.46, p = 1.09 × 10–4], 13.3 Hz , 20 Hz , and 40 Hz conditions . Conversely, the harmonic did not play a role in determining the ITPC in the 8 and 10 Hz conditions (p > 0.067). The ITPC in the right hemisphere was significantly greater in the 20 Hz  and 40 Hz conditions . There were no interaction effects in all conditions (p > 0.34). Post hoc multiple comparisons using Bonferroni adjusted t-tests revealed the following results: in the 6.67-Hz condition, the first harmonic was significantly higher than the fifth, seventh, and eighth (p < 0.030) harmonics, but the sixth harmonic (40 Hz) was not significantly different from the other harmonics (p > 0.16). In the 13.3-Hz condition, the third harmonic (40 Hz) was significantly increased compared to the second and fourth harmonics (p < 0.003). In the 20-Hz condition, the harmonics significantly increased in the order of the third, first, and second (40 Hz) (p < 0.001), and in the order of the second and first in the 40-Hz condition (p < 0.001).A significant increase in ITPC was observed around 40 Hz for all conditions: in the 6.67 Hz  . We subsF = 4.54, p = 0.044] and stimulus frequency , but no interaction effect . All the amplitudes at 40 Hz in the three conditions showed right hemisphere dominance. Post-hoc tests showed that the amplitude at 40 Hz was significantly increased in the order of 13.3, 20, and 40 Hz conditions (p < 0.001). Regarding the ITPC, the results showed a significant difference in stimulus frequency , but not between hemispheres . No interaction was detected between stimulus frequency and hemisphere . The post-hoc tests showed that the 40-Hz condition was the highest (p < 0.022), followed by the 20 and 13.3 Hz conditions. There was no significant difference between the 20 and 13.3 Hz conditions (p = 0.16), but they were significantly greater than the 6, 8, and 10 conditions (p < 0.001). There were no significant differences between the 6, 8, and 10 Hz conditions (p > 0.99).There was a significant increase in amplitude around 40 Hz for the 13.3, 20, and 40 Hz conditions and for all conditions in the ITPC. The Post/Pre ratios of amplitude and ITPC at 40 Hz under these conditions were compared, respectively. In case of the amplitude, two-way ANOVA (hemisphere × stimulus frequency) revealed a significant difference in hemisphere [p < 0.016), at 31 Hz in the 13.3-Hz condition (p = 0.031), and at 30–32 Hz in the 40-Hz condition (p < 0.044) (p < 0.017), at 12–14 Hz in the 8-Hz condition (p < 0.003), at 14 and 15 Hz in the 10-Hz condition (p < 0.025), at 6–11 and 17–21 Hz in the 13.3-Hz condition (p < 0.017), at 6–15 and 26–28 Hz in the 20-Hz condition (p < 0.044), and at 6–12 and 14–16 Hz in the 40-Hz condition (p < 0.014)  . These r< 0.044) . Additio< 0.014) .In this study, with particular attention to harmonics, we examined brain oscillations over a wide frequency range during auditory stimulation between 6.67 and 40 Hz that have the harmonic at 40 Hz. Harmonics were identified in all conditions. In particular, the increase in ITPC by harmonics was detected at more frequencies than the increase in amplitude under all conditions. We first evaluated whether the oscillatory responses decreased as the harmonic number increased . HoweverIn the 6.67, 8, and 10 Hz conditions, the harmonic increases in ITPC were observed over a wide frequency range, but there were no harmonic increases in amplitude. The amplitudes at the stimulus frequency in these three conditions were significantly increased, but their Post/Pre ratios were very small compared to those in ITPC. It could be suggested that the harmonic increases in amplitude did not appear due to lower relative changes in amplitude at the stimulus frequencies. In a study examining the test-retest reliability of the ASSR using MEG, ITPC exhibited high reliability compared to spectral power . In addiIn some conditions, the oscillatory responses did not follow the phenomenon of decreasing as the harmonic number increased, except the 40-Hz harmonic. In the 13.3-Hz condition, ITPC did not increase with stimulus frequency, but it did increase significantly not only in the third (40 Hz) but also in the second and fourth harmonics. This finding indicated that the special activation of the oscillation by harmonics affected not only 40 Hz but also the surrounding frequency bands. Conversely, ITPC under the 10-Hz condition showed that the second harmonic (20 Hz) was larger than the fundamental, although there was no significant difference between the fundamental and the harmonics. A similar phenomenon was observed in the 6.67-Hz condition, where the ITPC at the third (20 Hz) harmonic was slightly larger than the ITPC at the second harmonic. In addition, in the 8 and 10 Hz conditions, sporadic significant increases in ITPC were observed at the eleventh (88 Hz) and seventh (70th) harmonic, respectively. These trends may reflect a previous study that showed peaks in the phase response of the ASSR at approximately 20, 40, and 80 Hz . It has in vitro study demonstrated the inhibition of low-gamma oscillations by a 40-Hz circuit (The 13.3 and 20 Hz conditions showed a specific increase in 40-Hz oscillations, but the amplitude of oscillations at the stimulus frequency did not show a significant increase. This indicates that these stimuli actually activated some oscillations at subharmonic frequencies of 40 Hz, but the response did not fall in a sufficiently narrow-frequency range to create a prominent peak. Thus, one explanation of the finding could be the non-linearity of the responsible cells . The lac circuit .Our study has several limitations. First, whether the 40-Hz circuit suppresses broadband oscillations in patients with schizophrenia remains unexplored. Therefore, further clinical studies should be conducted to strengthen our hypothesis. Further research using cytological and other biological techniques is also needed to provide evidence that two categories of oscillators interact to generate neural oscillations. The second limitation concerns hemispheric differences. As shown previously , the ampUsing the nature of oscillation harmonics, we identified subharmonics that specifically activate the 40-Hz ASSR. These subharmonics at the beta frequency band were not activated at their own stimulus frequency and could have been suppressed by the resonant 40-Hz circuit. These findings may provide novel insights into the pathophysiology of various neuropsychiatric disorders associated with abnormalities in the 40-Hz ASSR.The original contributions presented in this study are included in the article/supplementary material, further inquiries can be directed to the corresponding author.This study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the National Institute for Physiological Sciences, Okazaki, Japan and was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki.
