Electroencephalography: Basic Principles, Clinical Applications, and Related Fields

Abstract: The main thrust of Electroencephalography is to preserve the sound basis of classic EEG recording and reading and, on the other hand, to present the newest developments for future EEG/neurophysiology research, especially in view of the highest brain functions. The Fourth Edition features new chapters on modern and future oriented EEG/EP research, spinal monitoring and dipole modelling

Psychogenic seizures: a clinical study with follow-up data.

Abstract: We evaluated the natural history and prognosis of psychogenic or hysterical seizures in patients discharged from the Johns Hopkins Hospital in the 3 years between 1971 and 1974. Follow-up data were obtained 5 years or more after discharge. Among 41 patients with convincing evidence of psychogenic seizures, there were coexisting organic neurologic disorders in 18 (44%). Mental subnormality or retardation was present in 17% and true epileptic seizures in 37%. EEG abnormalities found in 38% of individuals with psychogenic seizures were attributed to these organic neurologic disorders or anticonvulsant drug toxicity. There was significant long-term morbidity in 56% of these individuals because of psychosocial problems rather than misdiagnosis of psychogenic seizures.

Epileptic seizure disorders. Developments in diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract: There has been considerable progress in various segments of epileptology over the past two to three decades. The diagnostic sector has benefited from more advanced and sophisticated EEG-related techniques. The advent of computerized tomography has expedited the clinical evaluation of epileptic patients and new high-technology methods have been introduced. A new type of diagnostic subdivision (based on age-determined epileptic conditions and certain epileptic syndromes) is of great practical significance because of its prognostic implications (distinction of basically benign and severe forms of epileptic seizure disorders). The therapeutic sector has been stimulated by the introduction of new antiepileptic medications and particularly by profound insights into metabolic and pharmacokinetic characteristics of anticonvulsants; this has resulted in the introduction of techniques for serum level determinations. There have been new developments in the field of neurosurgical treatment of epileptic seizure disorders.

The neural basis of human error processing: Reinforcement learning, dopamine, and the error-related negativity.

Abstract: The authors present a unified account of 2 neural systems concerned with the development and expression of adaptive behaviors: a mesencephalic dopamine system for reinforcement learning and a “generic” error-processing system associated with the anterior cingulate cortex The existence of the error-processing system has been inferred from the error-related negativity (ERN), a component of the event-related brain potential elicited when human participants commit errors in reaction-time tasks The authors propose that the ERN is generated when a negative reinforcement learning signal is conveyed to the anterior cingulate cortex via the mesencephalic dopamine system and that this signal is used by the anterior cingulate cortex to modify performance on the task at hand They provide support for this proposal using both computational modeling and psychophysiological experimentation

The origin of extracellular fields and currents — EEG, ECoG, LFP and spikes

Abstract: Neuronal activity in the brain gives rise to transmembrane currents that can be measured in the extracellular medium. Although the major contributor of the extracellular signal is the synaptic transmembrane current, other sources — including Na+ and Ca2+ spikes, ionic fluxes through voltage- and ligand-gated channels, and intrinsic membrane oscillations — can substantially shape the extracellular field. High-density recordings of field activity in animals and subdural grid recordings in humans, combined with recently developed data processing tools and computational modelling, can provide insight into the cooperative behaviour of neurons, their average synaptic input and their spiking output, and can increase our understanding of how these processes contribute to the extracellular signal.
