Brain function peculiarities in premature babies and infants with perinatal encephalopathy and cerebral palsy
: Eighty five children with perinatal encephalopathy and cerebral palsy have been studied. EEG analysis showed functional imbalances of cortical and subcortical structures. A delay of cortical electrogenesis development and cortical functional activity were reduced, particularly in its sensomotor areas and left hemisphere with insufficient efferent impulse flow into underlying structures and predominance of electrical subcortical and stem structure activity. The changes discovered may relate directly to psychomotor retardation.
