Neurocortical electrical activity tomography in chronic schizophrenics

Abstract: -Functional imaging of brain electrical activity was performed in 25 chronic medicated schizophrenics and 40 controls, analyzing the classical frequency bands (delta, theta, alpha, and beta) of 19-channel EEG during resting state to identify brain regions with deviant activity of different functional significances, using LORETA (Low Resolution Tomography) and SPM99 (Statistical Parametric Mapping). Patients differed from controls due to an excess of slow activity comprising delta + theta frequency bands (inhib… Show more

“…In this context, electroencephalography (EEG) has been used to monitor the effects of distinct medications on brain dynamics since cortical activity is responsive to the unique characteristics of psychoactive substances (Saletu et al 2002). The EEG sensibility in identifying changes produced by a specific substance may be improved by methods of quantitative analyses (qEEG) (Anghinah et al 2000, Veiga et al 2003. Once drugs have specific effects on wave morphology, changes in qEEG variables can be used to investigate Correspondence to: Isabel Sampaio E-mail: belsampaio@gmail.com mechanisms of drug action as well as to monitor and possibly predict efficacy (Fink 1978).…”

“…In this context, quantitative electroencephalography (qEEG) and event-related potentials (ERPs) have been used to monitor the effects of caffeine on brain dynamics (15)(16)(17)(18)(19). EEG and ERP data provide a neuropsychophysiological estimation of brain processes which are linked to behavior (20)(21)(22)(23). The spectral attributes of the EEG are susceptible to changes under cognitive demands such as attention (24,25).…”

“…outra técnica utilizada é o exame eletrencefalográfico (eeG), que permite mapear não só a região cerebral ativada durante a execução de uma tarefa, como também quantificar o nível de atividade elétrica neuronal nestas regiões. Através de métodos de análises quantitativas (eeGq) torna-se possível, por exemplo, observar assimetrias inter e intra-hemisféricas geradas durante o aprendizado de uma tarefa motora [5][6] . …”
