The electroencephalogram (EEG) is an essential tool to
monitor the acute and long-term effects of insults on
brain function, especially in the first years of life. The
functional information coming from EEG is also a valuable guide to diagnose and to plan the treatment of
seizure disorders and to exclude the presence of an
organic brain disease.
The interpretation of pediatric EEG, particularly in
neonates and infants deserves proper knowledge about
the maturation of EEG. The neuro-physiological maturation of fetal human brain occurs in close relation with
the anatomical and functional development of cortical
and subcortical structures. In the early years of life, particularly between 28 and 40 weeks of age, the human
brain demonstrates an enormous change in term of
gross and microstructural anatomical development,
organization and the synaptogenesis of cerebrum. EEG
perfectly reflects this maturational process. This chapter
aims to outline the developmental aspects of EEG from
prematurity to adulthood
