Recent studies have shown that abnormal high-frequency brain activity represented by γ rhythms in schizophrenia severely affects patients′ low-level sensory processing and higher cognitive functions. The neurophysiological mechanisms of abnormal γ oscillations in schizophrenia patients, the progress of research on the EEG characteristics based on abnormal γ oscillations, the correlation between abnormal γ oscillations and symptoms, and the effects of different treatments on abnormal γ oscillations are comprehensively reviewed in this paper, and the current research status and problems are summarized to provide strong support for the clinical diagnosis and treatment of schizophrenia.
