[Cerebral electrical activity of children with serous meningitis].

A correlation analysis of EEGs in children 4 to 7 years of age suffering from serous meningitis revealed certain distinctions in the spatial organization of their brain biopotentials, as compared with that observed in healthy children of the same age. In the acute period of the disease the spatial synchronization of the biopotentials of the left hemisphere, especially, of the frontal and subparietal associative zones, is lowered. As the patient recovers the intercentral correlations between the right hemisphere biopotential improve. It is suggested that the right hemisphere plays a certain role in the compensation processes in the serous meningitis.
