“…The fast activity, which was noted before by Gibbs and Gibbs (1962) and others (Towler stal. 1962;Winfield 1963), was seen in its typical form in only half of the records of these patients. Similarly, no correlation could be found between the appearance of the fast activity and the therapeutic effectiveness, the dosage given, age or the type of seizures.…”

SUMMARY A long‐term oral trial of Valium has been made in 40 patients with various types of epileptic seizures, all of whom had responded poorly to other drugs. Duration of the trial was an average of 10 months, and in some cases more than 2 years. It was found that Valium gave very good control in 22 patients and good control in another 10. Our findings indicated no specific effect upon any one type of seizure, with the possible exception of status epilepticus. The recommended effective dose was found to be 3 times 5 mg/day. There were no appreciable side‐effects nor a lessening of effect. RÉSUMÉ On a traité avec du Valium 40 sujets présentant différents types de crises mal contrôlés par les autres traitements. La durée de l'observation a été de 10 mois en moyenne et jusqu'à deux ans dans certains cas. Le Valium a permis un très bon contrôle des crises chez 22 sujets et un bon contrôle chez 10. Les résultats indiquent que, avec la possible exception de l'état de mal, le Valium n'a pas une action spécifique sur les différents types de crises. La dose efficace a été de 3 × 5 mg pro die. On n'a pas eu d'effets secondares significatifs et on n'a pas non plus observé une diminution d'efficacité de produit dans le temps.

“…As a general rule, the improvement in the EEG was greater than, and was not paralleled by, the effect of the drug on the clinical signs. Because of the sedative hypnotic effect of this drug, it has been used, in single doses, to enable artifact-free recordings to be made from severely disturbed psychotic patients 131 and, in fact, its effect on the normal EEG is merely to introduce the classic signs of drowsiness. In long-term therapy of psychiatric cases with moderate dosages (30 to 40 mg. per day) the replacement of alpha by fast activity is frequently seen.132 Withdrawal reactions can foHow the too sudden cessation of chlordiazepoxide medication.…”

The restriction placed on this article by the last two words of its title indicates at the outset that the material reviewed can shed little light on truly basic neuropharmacology. Nevertheless it cannot be denied that the phenomenologic approach to the study of man's electroencephalogram ( EEG ), when taken in relation to animal experimentation, has contributed much of interest to the correlation between EEG and behavior, especially, of course, where subjective reports are of value.Most of the published work on the effect of drugs on the EEG of man refers only to recordings made from the scalp. No student of electroencephalography who has had the opportunity to record simultaneously from deep systems and the scalp in man will expect to gain insight into brain mechanisms from scalp recordings alone, for much can happen in the depths that has no reflection at the surface.
