Einführung: Patienten mit Frontalhirnläsionen leiden häufig unter subtilen Sprach- und Kommunikationsstörungen, die vermutlich zumindest teilweise auf einer Störung des Zugriffs auf semantische Gedächnisinhalte beruhen. Methode: Zur Untersuchung automatischer Aktivierungsprozesse im semantischen Speicher wurde eine Wortentscheidungsaufgabe verwendet. Dabei entscheiden die Teilnehmer möglichst schnell, ob es sich bei einem präsentierten Zielreiz um ein Wort oder eine sinnlose Buchstabenkette handelt. Ein jeweils unmittelbar vor dem Zielreiz kurz (200 ms) dargebotenes Wort kann mit diesem in verschiedener Weise semantisch verwandt sein; direkt (Auge-Ohr) oder indirekt (Augehören). In diesen Fällen wird die Wortentscheidung, besonders bei Präsentation direkt verwandter Wortpaare, gewöhnlich schneller getroffen als bei nichtverwandten Wortpaare (Auge-Kamin). Diese Differenz wird als semantischer Aktivierungseffekt bezeichnet. Ergebnisse: Patienten mit präfrontalen Läsionen (n=22) zeigen signifikant erhöhte direkte und indirekte semantische Aktivierungseffekte gegenüber Patienten mit nicht-frontalen zerebralen Läsionen (n=17) und gesunden Kontrollen (n=52). Dieser Effekt in unabhängig von allgemeiner Verlangsamung. Schlussfolgerung: Die Ergebnisse sprechen für einen gestörten, unfokussierten Zugriff auf semantische Gedächtnisinhalte, der spezifisch für frontale Störungen zu sein scheint. Full article

Due to the recent developments of storage technology, digital video recording on a PC became available for long-term monitoring of epilepsy in addition to the well established recording of digital EEG. Uncompressed digital video results in a high data rate of typically 80 GBytes per hour and must be compressed in order to be stored, processed and archived. [...] Full article

Mapping of cognitive evoked scalp potentials (EPs) offers excellent temporal and cognitive resolution. Its spatial resolution distinguishes even subtle differences in afferent and cognitive processes and is commonly underestimated. The noninvasive method reveals a temporally ordered sequence of transient, covert, functional microstates of the brain. Tomographic and gradientbased source localization can translate this spatial into neuroanatomical resolution which depends on the three-dimensional configuration of the active sources. Such functional brain mapping with EPs has the potential to integrate current structural (neurological) and dynamic (information processing) models of brain function and dysfunction. We review contributions to a neurophysiological understanding of language, attention, inhibition, and of psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia and ADHD (attention deficit/hyperactivity disorders).

With the introduction of clinical electroencephalography (EEG) it was hoped that there was finally a tool available with which it would be possible to quantify the therapeutic success, or the lack of it, in the treatment of patients with epilepsy. It was soon, however, seen that the EEG could become normal not only as expected after treatment with antiepileptic drugs but also through changes in the psychological state of the patient at the time of recording. This normalisation of the EEG reminded Landolt of previous patients with epilepsy who had had normal EEGs in connection with psychotic states. This in turn led him to the observation of “epileptics who must have a pathological EEG in order to be mentally sane”, this he termed “forced normalisation” which he then defined. This definition focussed on the EEG. Is then the “forced normalisation” of Landolt an EEG phenomenon which can be precisely defined? Full article
