As our brain matures, the EEG patterns change in a predictable manner These cortical developments create age-specific waveforms that help decipher the normal maturation of the EEG. The majority of these changes take place during the neonatal period when waveform alterations occur week to week from discontinuous bursts to a more continuous background. From the neonatal period to infancy, background patterns of sleep and awake begin to show the continuity seen in older children and adults. With further maturation, the neonatal patterns of awake and sleep develop into the posterior dominant rhythm and distinguishable sleep structures of childhood. While pediatric patterns mirror the mature waveforms of adult EEG, their morphology and reactive response differentiates them. The goal of this article is to illustrate the normal maturation and development of the EEG using the age-specific waveforms and patterns seen in neonates, infants, children, and adolescence.
随着我们的大脑成熟，脑电图模式会以可预测的方式发生变化。这些皮质发育产生特定年龄的波形，有助于解读脑电图的正常成熟过程。这些变化大多发生在新生儿期，在此期间，波形每周都会发生变化，从间断性爆发转变为更连续的背景。从新生儿期到婴儿期，睡眠和清醒的背景模式开始呈现出大龄儿童和成人中可见的连续性。随着进一步成熟，新生儿的清醒和睡眠模式发展为儿童期的后头部优势节律和可区分的睡眠结构。虽然儿科模式反映了成人脑电图的成熟波形，但其形态和反应性反应将它们区分开来。本文的目的是利用在新生儿、婴儿、儿童和青少年中观察到的特定年龄波形和模式来说明脑电图的正常成熟和发展过程。
