This is the first study to investigate the effect of clozapine on SAI, a potential cholinergic biomarker, and the first follow-up study to investigate the relationship between the effects of clozapine on cortical inhibition and cognition. Clozapine seems to cause an increase in cortical inhibition through GABAergic and possibly cholinergic mechanisms. However, additional follow-up studies with larger sample sizes are required to reach more robust conclusions.
