Maturation of EEG
Maturation of EEG patterns parallels brain development
Anatomical and physiological development of brain
Development of age-specific waking and sleep patterns
Most dramatic EEG changes occur between premature
age and 1st 3 months of life
EEG patterns during 1st6 months closely correlate withconceptual age (CA)

Neonatal EEG
Function of actual age of brain CA = gestational age + legal (chronological) age
A number ofage-specific normal EEG features for only
several weeks at a time Different clinical implication when seen at later ages
Persistence or reappearance of patterns with immature
features (dysmaturity) means cerebral dysfunction More mature EEG pattern than expected is usually due
to underestimated CA

8/2/2019 Neonate EEG
78/79
Within broad normal limits of variability for age
Marginal patterns should be interpreted in a prudent
manner
Rash link between brain and psyche do more harm
Deviation from normal, immaturity or structural insult ?
Careful correlation with clinical status for significance
