Burst suppression is an electroencephalogram (EEG) pattern in which periods of normal, high brain activity – the bursts – are interrupted by stretches of greatly reduced activity that can last 10 ...

ERGENT’s motivating hypothesis is that there are specific criteria that if broadly applied, would identify patients with a high likelihood of having epilepsy caused by changes in single genes. As an ...

Changes in EEG background activity are powerful but nonspecific markers of brain dysfunction. Early EEG and amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG) pattern predict further neurodevelopmental outcome in term ...

Congenital Zika virus (ZIKV) infection may have severe clinical consequences, including dysmorphic features, orthopedic abnormalities, ophthalmologic and auditory lesions, microcephaly, and ...

Researchers have used functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to study the precise spatial distribution of synchronously working brain regions in anesthetized humans, long-tailed macaques, common ...

Some protocols suggest phenytoin concentrations of 30 µg/ml and phenobarbital at concentrations of 100–150 µg/ml. Others recommend iv. LEV at infusion rates of up to 6000 mg/day, valproate or even ...

“Our brain can be thought of as a full soccer stadium when we are awake,” explains Nikoloz Sirmpilatze, a scientist in the Functional Imaging Unit and lead author of the study. “Our active neurons are ...

A distinctive pattern of brain activity associated with conditions including deep anesthesia, coma and congenital brain disorders appears to represent the brain's shift into a protective, low-activity ...
