Coherence Patterns of Infant Sleep EEG in Absence of the Corpus Callosum

  • Chapter
Callosal Agenesis

Part of the book series: Advances in Behavioral Biology ((ABBI,volume 42))

Abstract

Neurophysiological techniques are generally used as a complement to clinical neurological and neuropsychological investigations. Since the patient’s cooperation and the effect of training are of lesser importance, neurophysiological methods can be advantageous for assessing the function of neuronal systems both in clinical and experimental settings. However, the relationship between neurophysiological findings and clinical signs is not always obvious, thus reducing the clinical application of neurophysiology. On the other hand, such methods may yield otherwise concealed data and can therefore contribute to our knowledge of the nervous system.
