The article focuses on the potential of using auditory event-related potentials (ERPs) to understand the biological basis of circuit abnormalities in schizophrenia and the impact of anticholinergic activity on these circuits. It discusses the power of ERPs as a tool to study brain activity and connectivity in response to auditory stimuli and highlights the importance of controlling for various pharmacological factors to better predict cognitive consequences of medications.
