AI Article Synopsis
- Anesthetic drugs have specific effects on brain activity, which can be tracked using electroencephalographic (EEG) signatures.
- Monitoring EEG spectrograms during surgery helps anesthesiologists adjust drug delivery effectively, as certain patterns indicate the level of anesthesia or pain signals.
- A case study highlighted how changes in EEG patterns identified a problem with propofol delivery, emphasizing the importance of EEG monitoring in anesthetic management.
Article Abstract
The electroencephalographic signatures of anesthetic drugs relate to a specific set of action mechanisms within the neural circuits. During intraoperative care, the recognition and correct interpretation of the EEG spectrogram can be used as a tool to guide anesthetic administration. For example, loss of alpha power during propofol anesthesia may be a sign of lighter level of hypnosis and/or of an increase in nociceptive inputs. We describe a case report of inadvertent interruption of propofol delivery that was first detected by changes in the electroencephalogram spectrogram.

Background: The detection of abnormal brain activity plays an important role in the early diagnosis and treatment of major depressive disorder (MDD). Recent studies have shown that the decomposition of the electroencephalography (EEG) spectrum into periodic and aperiodic components is useful for identifying the drivers of electrophysiologic abnormalities and avoiding individual differences.
Methods: This study aimed to elucidate the pathologic changes in individualized periodic and aperiodic activities and their relationships with the symptoms of MDD.
Subthalamic nucleus deep brain stimulation in the beta frequency range boosts cortical beta oscillations and slows down movement.

Recordings from Parkinson's disease (PD) patients typically show strong beta-band oscillations (13-35Hz), which can be modulated by deep brain stimulation (DBS). While high-frequency DBS (>100Hz) ameliorates motor symptoms and reduces beta activity in basal ganglia and motor cortex, the effects of low-frequency DBS (<30Hz) are less clear. Clarifying these effects is relevant for the debate about the role of beta oscillations in motor slowing, which might be causal or epiphenomenal.

Biowaste produced in urban parks is composed of large masses of organic matter that is only occasionally used economically. In this work, extracts of six plants widely distributed in urban parks in Central Europe (, , , , , and ), prepared using 10 % and 50 % ethanol, were screened for their antidiabetic and related properties. HPLC and UV-Vis analysis revealed the presence of caffeic acid, quercetin, luteolin, and apigenin derivatives.

Background: Aging is associated with disruptions in non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and memory decline. Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) increases with age and is associated with clinical sleep disturbance, but little is known about its relationship with local expression of NREM sleep. Here, we explore associations between CSVD burden, memory, and local electroencephalography (EEG) measures during NREM sleep in older adults.
