Set. The Electroencephalogram (EEG) of the newborn infant is unique from that of older children and adults. There are characteristic waveforms and EEG patterns commonly seen in the newborn infant which are not subsequently observed in later life.
With this knowledge in mind, this first volume of the Atlas of Encephalography expands on the wealth of rapidly evolving developmental maturation of the structure and function of the pre-term nervous system, responsible for the subsequent parallel evolution of neonatal EEG from the pre-term to term infant. The interpretation of this information is well laid out in this excellent documentation of front-line developments in electroencephalography.
