Metcalf, Maximilian Monninger, Andreas Meyer-Lindenberg, Pascal-M. Aggensteiner, Marian J. Bakermans‑Kranenburg, Tonya White, Tobias Banaschewski, Marinus H. van IJzendoorn, Nathalie E. Holz

From mechanisms to markers: novel noninvasive EEG proxy markers of the neural excitation and inhibition system in humans by Jumana Ahmad, Claire Ellis, Robert Leech, Bradley Voytek, Pilar Garces, Emily Jones, Jan Buitelaar, Eva Loth, Francisco Páscoa dos Santos, Adrián F. Amil, Paul F. M. J. Verschure, Declan Murphy, Grainne McAlonan

“…However, the hypothesis has been difficult to test because: (1) it lacks specificity—an E/I dysfunction could pertain to any level in the neural system- neurotransmitters, single neurons/receptors, local networks of neurons, or global brain balance - most researchers do not define the level at which they are examining E/I function; (2) We lack validated methods for assessing E/I function at any of these neural levels in humans. …”
