“…The underlying process leads to the reorientation of attention to higher cognitive processes. MMNs have been shown for auditory deviants involving pitch [37, 62, 69, 70, 84, 98, 100, 113, 114], intensity [63, 79], duration [1, 19, 34–36, 40, 63, 65, 81, 87, 105], SOA [13, 50, 102], sequence (or pattern) [12, 32, 49, 88, 101, 117], and more complex features such as rising and falling tones (reviewed in [71]) or voice [46]. The MMN is generally accepted to be elicited by the deviant that violates the regularities, but the underlying mechanism is still under debate.…”

Neural responses to sudden changes can be observed in many parts of the sensory pathways at different organizational levels. For example, deviants that violate regularity at various levels of abstraction can be observed as simple On/Off responses of individual neurons or as cumulative responses of neural populations. The cortical deviance-related responses supporting different functionalities (e.g., gap detection, chunking, etc.) seem unlikely to arise from different function-specific neural circuits, given the relatively uniform and self-similar wiring patterns across cortical areas and spatial scales. Additionally, reciprocal wiring patterns (with heterogeneous combinations of excitatory and inhibitory connections) in the cortex naturally speak in favor of a generic deviance detection principle. Based on this concept, we propose a network model consisting of reciprocally coupled neural masses as a blueprint of a universal change detector. Simulation examples reproduce properties of cortical deviance-related responses including the On/Off responses, the omitted-stimulus response (OSR), and the mismatch negativity (MMN). We propose that the emergence of change detectors relies on the involvement of disinhibition. An analysis of network connection settings further suggests a supportive effect of synaptic adaptation and a destructive effect of Nmethyl-d-aspartate receptor (NMDA-r) antagonists on change detection. We conclude that the nature of cortical reciprocal wiring gives rise to a whole range of local change detectors supporting the notion of a generic deviance detection principle. Several testable predictions are provided based on the network model. Notably, we predict that the NMDA-r antagonists would generally dampen the cortical Off response, the cortical OSR, and the MMN.

“…These inconsistent findings might be explained by the fact that various types of deviants activate separate MMN neural networks (Escera et al, 2002;Molholm et al, 2005;Toufan et al, 2016), which can be affected differently by gender.…”

“…(2005) and Barrett and Fulfs (1998) reported larger MMN amplitudes in females compared to males with no latency differences between two sexes using emotional voice and intensity deviants, respectively. These inconsistent findings might be explained by the fact that various types of deviants activate separate MMN neural networks (Escera et al., 2002; Molholm et al., 2005; Toufan et al., 2016), which can be affected differently by gender.…”

Introduction:The effects of gender on the mismatch negativity (MMN) potential have been studied using simple frequency deviants. However, the effects of gender on MMN to violations of abstract regularities have not yet been studied. Here, we addressed this issue and compared the effects of gender on simple and pattern frequency MMNs.Methods: MMN response was recorded from 29 healthy young adults, 14 females (mean age = 26.20 ± 2.17) and 15 males (mean age = 27.57 ± 2.24), using 32 scalp electrodes during simple and pattern frequency oddball paradigms and the mean amplitude, peak latency, and scalp topography of MMN evoked by each paradigm were compared between the two genders. Results:The peak latency of simple MMN was significantly longer in females (p < .05); however, its mean amplitude and topography were similar between the two genders (p > .05). There were no significant differences in peak latency, mean amplitude, and scalp topography of pattern MMN between the two genders (p > .05). Conclusions:Based on the obtained results, gender differently affects simple and pattern MMN. These findings may provide preliminary evidence for distinct effects of gender on various types of MMN.

“…The underlying process leads to the reorientation of attention for higher cognitive processes. Deviants which differed in a variety of sound properties from the standard have been shown to elicit MMNs, for example pitch [78,95,56,93,108,109,33,64,63], in-tensity [57,73], duration [1,75,59,30,57,103,81,32,31,17,36], SOA [46,97,11], sequence (or pattern) [82,28,10,112,45,96], and more complex features such as rising and falling tones (reviewed in [65]) or voice [42]. The MMN is generally accepted to be elicited by the deviant that violates the regularities, but the underlying mechanism is still under debate.…”
