The EEGs were recorded four times with an interval of 3 years in 25 children. There were 13 boys and 12 girls aged 8 to 17 years (forms 1-10). During data processing, use was made of the frequency and amplitude analysis of the EEG. The data obtained indicate that the EEGs of schoolchildren are determined to a great measure by hormonal influences related to the stages of puberty. In boys, the EEGs undergo the same age-associated changes as those in girls, with a 2-3-year time lag. For adequate interpretation of the EEG pattern in schoolchildren it is necessary to bear in mind the child's age and the stage of puberty.
