Triphasic Patterns: Decoding Brain Wave Rhythms
The Triphasic Pattern in Electroencephalography Introduction to the Triphasic Pattern The triphasic pattern, also frequently referred to as the biphasic-plus-plateau pattern, constitutes a distinctive and common finding observed in the electroencephalogram (EEG) of healthy individuals. This particular waveform stands apart from the more conventional monophasic or biphasic patterns due to its unique morphological characteristics. It […]
BRAIN WAVES (Electroencephalogram, EEG)
Introduction and Definition of the EEG The Electroencephalogram (EEG) represents a cornerstone methodology in clinical neurology and cognitive neuroscience, serving as an essential, non-invasive technique for measuring and recording the electrical activity generated by the brain. Fundamentally, the EEG captures the aggregated electrical potentials arising primarily from the synchronous activity of large populations of cortical […]
PGO SPIKES
Introduction and Definition of PGO Spikes The term PGO spikes is an acronym derived from the anatomical structures involved in their generation and propagation: the Pons, the Lateral Geniculate Nucleus (LGN), and the Occipital Cortex. These electrophysiological phenomena represent highly characteristic, high-amplitude, transient electrical peaks documented primarily through electroencephalography (EEG) and electrooculography (EOG) during specific […]
