The brain regions subserving the processing of emotional prosody have been investigated using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) but few studies investigated direct electrical neuronal activity using intracranial recordings in humans. Previous studies have shown the involvement of the amygdala and the orbito-frontal cortex (OFC) in the processing of em...

In humans, the knowledge of intracranial correlates of spindles is mainly gathered from noninvasive neurophysiologic and functional imaging studies which provide an indirect estimate of neuronal intracranial activity. This potential limitation can be overcome by intracranial electroencephalography used in presurgical epilepsy evaluation. We investigated the intracranial correlates of scalp spin...

Since ischemic stroke is an extremely common and dangerous pathology, it important to use drugs with neuroprotective activity. The depth degree of brain damage due ischemia are reflected in its bioelectrical This makes possible the electrocorticography or intracranial electroencephalography (EEG) as a tool for evaluating effectiveness therapy. In present study properties experimental compound R...

Background: Drug resistant epilepsy is present in nearly 30% of patients. Resection the epileptogenic zone has been found to be most effective achieving seizure freedom. The study temporal lobe for surgical treatment extensive and complex. It involves a multidisciplinary team decision-making with initial non-invasive studies (Phase I), providing 70% required information elaborate hypothesis pla...

BACKGROUND Intracranial electroencephalography (EEG) studies are widely used in the presurgical evaluation of drug-refractory patients with partial epilepsy. Because chronic implantation of intracranial electrodes carries a risk of infection, hemorrhage, and edema, it is best to limit the number of electrodes used without compromising the ability to localize the epileptogenic zone (EZ). There i...

introduction: to obtain a baseline for clinical application of electroencephalography in children and to evaluate the electroencephalography findings in children with various acute and chronic cns disorders and non epileptic events.methods: electroencephalography electroencephalography records of 250 patients were studied in neurophysiology departments of queen rania al-abdullah hospital for ch...

Burst suppression in the electroencephalogram (EEG) is a well-described phenomenon that occurs during deep anesthesia, as well as in a variety of congenital and acquired brain insults. Classically it is thought of as spatially synchronous, quasi-periodic bursts of high amplitude EEG separated by low amplitude activity. However, its characterization as a "global brain state" has been challenged ...
