[Brain mapping in Parkinson disease treated by cryothalamotomy].

Brain mapping of the cerebral bioelectric activity was done by the BEAM method in 20 patients with Parkinson's disease treated by cryothalamotomy. Conventional egg examinations demonstrating relatively small changes of the type of local asymmetry of frequencies and/or amplitudes, sporadic focal changes, and sporadic generalized and disseminated generalized changes were analysed in a computer system in the domain of frequency and time. Brain mapping demonstrated very distinctly the asymmetry in the frequency bands alpha and beta.

[Brain mapping in atonic epileptic attacks with consciousness disorders at school age].

The paper presents the results of the analysis of atonic epileptic seizures with application of brain mapping eeg. The views to date on the pathogenesis of atonic seizures could be based on the assumptions of centrencephalic epilepsy voiced by Penfield and Jasper. The present investigations and electrophysiological-clinical observations support, however, contrary to the concept of Penfield and Jasper, the cortical origin of these seizures.

Clonazepam in the treatment of drug-resistant epilepsy: a clinical short and long term follow-up study.

One hundred sixty one epileptic patients, resistant to standard antiepileptic medication, were treatecd with clonazepam. In 19 cases clonazepam was given during the epileptic status. In 17 cases the status was stopped.
