Sleep EEG, the clearest window through which to view adolescent brain development.
1287 Commentary—Colrain and Baker data showing differences between 15-16 and 17-18 years, with those collected in a similar design but from younger adolescents highlights the fact that later adolescents are still showing dramatic changes in sleep EEG power, reflecting ongoing changes in brain development. Tarokh et al. show smaller changes in the occipital (particularly left occipital) derivati...
متن کاملTrait-like characteristics of the sleep EEG across adolescent development.
Waking and sleep data in adults show high heritability and trait-like characteristics in EEG spectra. This phenomenon has not been examined in children and adolescents where brain development influences the EEG. The present study examines whether a trait-like sleep EEG pattern is detectable across adolescent development. Two consecutive nights of standard sleep recordings were performed in 19 9...
متن کاملSleep EEG evidence of sex differences in adolescent brain maturation.
STUDY OBJECTIVES The steep decline in slow-wave (delta) electroencephalogram (EEG) intensity across adolescence is a prominent feature of late brain maturation. As a first step in determining whether the adolescent delta decline is similar in both sexes, we compared cross-sectional sleep EEG data from 9- and 12-year-old boys and girls. DESIGN All-night EEG recordings, 6 months apart, were con...
متن کاملSex, puberty, and the timing of sleep EEG measured adolescent brain maturation.
The steep adolescent decline in the slow wave (delta, 1-4 Hz) electroencephalogram (EEG) of nonrapid eye movement (NREM) sleep is a dramatic maturational change in brain electrophysiology thought to be driven by cortical synaptic pruning. A perennial question is whether this change in brain electrophysiology is related to sexual maturation. Applying Gompertz growth models to longitudinal data s...
متن کاملThe EEG signal: a window on the cortical brain activity.
The accurate assessment of the depth of anesthesia, allowing a more accurate adaptation of the doses of hypnotics, is an important end point for the anesthesiologist. It is a particularly crucial issue in pediatric anesthesia, in the context of the recent controversies about the potential neurological consequences of the main anesthetic drugs on the developing brain. The electroencephalogram si...
