What else can I help you with?
Can you have seizures from a head injury seizures that dont show up on an eeg?
Yes, it is quite common for those who have Partial Epilepsy for EEG's and MRI's to be clear as the section is not thin enough or only a small part of the brain is affected.
How do you manipulate an EEG to not show epilepsyDoes drinking caffeine make it easier to find epilepsy or harderDoes taking Lamotrigin and Levicritam make it harder to findIt's only a 30 minute examination and not a sleep deprived one?
It's actually pretty easy to manipulate an EEG to not show epilepsy. Drinking caffeine makes it harder to find epilepsy because it speeds up the brain's activity and makes it harder to pick up on any abnormal patterns. Taking Lamotrigin and Levicritam can also make it harder to find epilepsy because they both interfere with the electrical signals in the brain.
What is an EEG of the brain?
An EEG is an electroencephalogram which is a device that measures brain activity. If there any problems in the brain they can be seen on an EEG. The brain produces electrical impulses and there are different patterns of impulses. It is this different patterns that are measured with and EEG that can show doctors what might be wrong.
Does sexual Activity show up on EEG test?
One hopes you might be using your brain when having sex ......... although if someone could have a flat eeg during sex, I'm impressed, that's control !
Can a ct scan without contrast detect brain tumor?
Yes, brain tumours can show up very clearly on CT scans especially if the patient is injected with an X-ray dye.
How common is temporal lobe epilepsy?
TLE, as a whole, constitutes a common type of epilepsy. The exact incidence is not clear but it is suspected to make up a significant proportion of medication-resistant epilepsy.
Will you have epilepsy for life?
Not necessarily. It will depend on the type and cause of epilepsy. Some children get epilepsy which stops when they grow up. Some people get epilepsy as a result of a head injury. If the head injury heals their seizures may stop. Some people will have their epilepsy for life. They could have it for all of their life, or get it at some point and then have it for the rest of their life. Epilepsy can be controlled by medication, so some people get their epilepsy under control and if they stick to looking after themselves, they will not have seizures although technically they still have epilepsy. Each case is different and it has to be monitored by the person and their doctor.
Can you get epilepsy as an adult?
Not really. There are many forms of epilepsy so you can have the same kinds of seizures when you are an adult as when you are a child. Issues like age and gender don't really make a difference. Some children stop having seizures when they grow up and other people will have epilepsy throughout their life and other people may only get epilepsy when they are adults.
How does an EEG work?
It is basically in mammals the first cell of the offspring, and in animals that lay eggs it is the shell that protects it while the offspring grows and matures. All eggs must be fertilized by sperm in order to have a chance of producing a mature offspring.Edit: I'm assuming you meant EEG and not "egg" like the above said.The EEG uses electrodes wired to your head to pick up the faint EM fields your brain generates. These are generally all sub 100 Hz, and exist in several different wavelengths (i.e. alpha, beta, theta, gamma waves...)The electrodes act like antennas and send the signal they pick up to an amplifier, which is loaded into a computer to show different activity from different parts of the brain. Most human brains behave very similarly, so when something is acting up/different than normal, this can often be used to diagnose basic mental disorders/diseases and tumors. (Though MRI and CAT Scans have replaced that, mostly.)Source: I got bored last night and spent a few hours looking into EEG equipment for a project I'm working on.
Your sister has black outs and when she wakes up her body hurts is that epilepsy?
If that happens regularly then it could well be epilepsy. The only way to really know is to go to see a doctor.
Can you able to detect what a person is thinking using EEG?
Research can tell that the person is thinking but not what. In recent research they have shown pictures or play music to people hooked up to a MRI and a EEG. The area of the brain that is affected by this "lights up" showing that there is a reaction, but the researcher can't tell what the person is thinking. Just that they are thinking. It could be in the future that science will be able to do that.
To what part of your body would doctors hook up wires if they wanted an electroencephalograph or EEG for short?
The leads will placed on your head, or skull.
