Summary: This study aimed to replicate previous findings of hypoactivity in the beta/gamma band in females with suicidal ideation and attempts, but found no significant differences between suicide ideators and low-risk individuals. Possible reasons for non-replication include EMG contamination in the beta/gamma band in the earlier study.

Summary: This study investigated EEG patterns among patients with MDD comorbid with anxiety symptoms. Results showed that the MDD group had higher beta activity in the entire brain region, supporting the role of brain hyperactivity as a trait marker in these patients. The findings suggest the potential development of a neurofeedback protocol based on brain hyperactivity.

Summary: This study investigated the differences in EEG power spectrum at theta oscillations between patients with MDD and patients with AN. It found that AN patients demonstrated reduced power in the prefrontal cortex, left temporal lobe, and right occipital regions compared to MDD patients.Theta oscillations could potentially serve as a biomarker that distinguishes MDD from AN, pending further confirmation in future studies.

Summary: This study investigates the effects of workplace noise on neural activity and alpha asymmetries of the prefrontal cortex during mental stress conditions. The findings suggest that workplace noise can increase cortical activity and induce stress reactions, with a greater significant right frontal activation observed in the noisy workplace group. This study provides critical information on the impact of workplace noise-related stress that may be overlooked during mental stress evaluations.

Summary: In this study, the effects of a 6-hour sleep deprivation and acute ketamine treatment on vigilance states, locomotor activity, and electroencephalogram (EEG) power density spectra were evaluated in rats. Both treatments increased non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep and NREM sleep slow-wave activity (SWA), while decreasing rapid eye movement (REM) sleep. These findings suggest that selective suppression of REM sleep combined with enhanced SWA during NREM sleep may be effective in treating depression.

Summary: Research suggests that symptoms of anxiety may result in atypical alpha activity associated with cognitive functioning. The combined influence of symptoms of anxiety and depression on alpha activity changes is not well understood. This study found that symptoms of depression had a significant impact on predicting alpha power, and the direction of this impact was opposite to that of symptoms of anxiety. Clinical symptoms were related to alpha change between attention and rest, but not behavioral performance on a attention task.

Summary: The research investigated the role of alpha and theta power in multimodal competition, finding that alpha waves help maintain representations and protect them from interference, while theta waves may facilitate updating when needed. Results showed that responses to visual and auditory stimuli differed with alpha waves depending on eye status, while theta power did not interact with eye status.

Summary: The study presents the first large-scale short-term reliability study of frontal and parietal EEG resting-state alpha asymmetry, showing good reliability of alpha power and alpha asymmetry on both systems for electrode pairs. It also found that alpha power asymmetry reliability is higher in the eyes-closed condition than in the eyes-open condition, and that the frontomedial electrode pair showed weaker reliability compared to the frontolateral and parietal electrode pairs.

Summary: This study used the standard EEG collection method to gather the Taiwan normative database and examine its reliability and validation. The database showed high internal consistency reliabilities at different frequencies across the three electrode locations. Cross-validation was conducted between the Taiwan and NeuroGuide databases for major depressive disorder (MDD) patients, and high correlations were found between the z-scores in different lobes. The Taiwan EEG normative database demonstrated good psychometric characteristics of internal consistency reliability and cross-validation.

Summary: This study presented an individualized estimate of EEG in the alpha band and found differences in power and connectivity in lower and upper alpha bands in ADHD patients. Power in the lower alpha band was negatively correlated with ADHD severity. The results did not provide conclusive evidence for IAF as an overall greater measure of EEG compared to the traditional fixed band method.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between EEG microstates and patient response to antidepressants, identifying potential biological markers for early response and further clinical outcomes in MDD patients. The duration of microstate B was found to be associated with depression symptoms, while the occurrence of microstate A was related to anxiety symptoms.

Summary: This study systematically reviews models that aim to provide patient-specific predictions of pre-treatment rebleeding risk in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. The reported discriminative performance of the models varied, and no model showed consistently low bias risk and clinical applicability in all domains. Only one model was formulated using a patient cohort that underwent contemporary, evidence-based aneurysm treatment practices, but this model lacked calibration or clinical utility.

Summary: This study retrospectively reviewed the clinical characteristics and outcomes after surgical revascularization for adult Moyamoya disease (MMD) in a Southeast Asian cohort. The incidence of postoperative transient ischemic attack (TIA)/stroke was 25.9%, with most cases occurring within 7 days postoperatively. Risk factors for 30-day postoperative TIA/stroke included a higher number of preoperative TIAs/strokes and indirect revascularization.

The results showed that patients with migraine had a greater FHP and thoracic kyphosis. This suggests that a 3-dimensional objective measurement could be a reliable tool for evaluating posture analysis in clinical practice.
