Electroencephalograms (EEG) were studied after removal of craniopharyngioma in 75 children. Correlation of the character of ECG changes with the severity of the clinical condition was revealed. Maximally manifested pathological EEG activity of the central areas of the cortex and a phase character of the EEG changes with different duration of the phases determined by the patient's condition were common to all patients, irrespective of the severity of their condition which was determined by the degree of the pathological changes in the thalamo-hypothalamic structures. Prognostic signs of the EEG changes were identified, which characterized a favorable or a complicated course of the postoperative process.

Background: We currently lack in the dementia field accurate, noninvasive, quick, and affordable screening tools for brain dysfunctions associated with early subtle risk of mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Our Kentucky aging cohort demonstrates that asymptomatic older individuals with MCI-like frontal memory-related brainwave patterns convert to MCI within a short 5-year period, as opposed to individuals with NC-like patterns (1) that remain normal 10 years later (2). Astrocyte reactivity influences amyloid-β effects on tau pathology in preclinical Alzheimer's disease (3).

Background: Stroop task is used to evaluate inhibition, a core executive function. Alpha Event-Related Desynchronization (ERD) from analysis of electroencephalogram (EEG) during Stroop task reflects brain interference processing. We previously reported different relationships between heart rate variability (HRV) and alpha ERD during Stroop task.

Baehwa University, Seoul, Seoul, Korea, Republic of (South).

Background: It is difficult to predict of long-term treatment response of AD to medical treatment when starting medication. We explored EEG brain connectivity as a potential biomarker for long-term medication outcomes in patients with AD.

Methods: Resting-state EEG was recorded from a total of 56 AD patients (mean age = 73.

Cognito Therapeutics, Cambridge, MA, USA.

Background: Preclinical investigations in Alzheimer's disease (AD) have highlighted the efficacy of gamma sensory stimulation in mitigating AD-related pathologies. Cognito Therapeutics, Inc. (Cambridge, MA) has designed the Sensory Stimulation System for safe at-home usage, to induce EEG-confirmed gamma oscillations as a potential treatment for AD.

Background: Cognitive reserve (CR) is a property of the brain trait that allows for better-than-expected cognitive performance, relative to the degree of brain change over the life course. However, the neurophysiological markers of CR require further investigation. Electroencephalography (EEG) may provide an appropriate neurophysiological marker of CR.
