The influence of nootropic drugs on EEG spectral power of the cortex and hippocamp was studied in resting rats. All these drugs had a specific action on EEG spectral power, causing an increase and stabilization of maximum basic distribution peak of the EEG spectral power. Such action may be attributed to better organization of rhythmic activity in theta-range. The drugs also decreased interhemispheric asymmetry of the cortical and hippocampal EEG. The authors suggest that the increase and improvement of the basic rhythmic activity in the brain and an increased level of distant (spatial) synchronization form the basis for the nootropic drug effect.

Introduction: Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) leads to dysfunction and impairment in neurological structures and cognitive functions. Despite extensive research, the pathophysiological mechanisms and effects of MDD on the brain remain unclear. This study aims to assess the impact of MDD on brain activity using EEG power spectral analysis and asymmetry metrics.

Objective: Sleep-related hypermotor epilepsy (SHE) is a relatively uncommon epilepsy syndrome, characterized by seizures closely related to the sleep cycle. This study aims to explore interictal electroencephalographic (EEG) characteristics in SHE.
Methods: We compared EEG data from 20 patients with SHE, 20 patients with focal epilepsy (FE), and 14 healthy controls, carefully matched for age, sex, education level, epilepsy duration, and drug-resistant epilepsy.

Heart rate variability biofeedback (HRV BF) training aids adaptation to new climatic, geographical, and social environments. Neurophysiological changes during the HRV BF in individuals from tropical regions studying in the Arctic are not well understood. The aim of this study was to research electroencephalographic (EEG) changes during a single short-term HRV BF session in Indian and Russian students studying in the Russian Arctic.

Background: Patients undergoing general anesthesia are more frequently monitored for depth of anesthesia using processed electroencephalography. Opioid-free anesthesia is nowadays an accepted modality for general anesthesia, however it is unclear how to interpret data from processed electroencephalography when using a mixture of non-opioid anesthetic drugs. Our objective was to describe density spectral array patterns and compare processed encephalographic data indices between opioid-free and routine opioid based anesthesia.
