Dr. Hamlin Emory, M.D. Publishes Article in Clinical EEG and Neuroscience

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - Dec. 8, 2014 - PRLog -- Dr. Hamlin Emory, M.D. a recognized pioneer and specialist in applying EEG & QEEG data to the treatment of each patient recently published an article “Quantitative EEG and Current Source Density Analysis of Combined Antiepileptic Drugs and Dopaminergic Agents in Genetic Epilepsy:  Two Case Studies,” in Clinical EEG and Neuroscience.  The article was co-authored by Neptune Mizrahi, Ph.D. and Christopher Wells of the Emory Neurophysiology Institute in Los Angeles, CA.

Abstract:  Two adolescent females with absence epilepsy were classified, one as attention deficit and the other as bipolar disorder.  Physical and cognitive exams identified hypotension, bradycardia, and cognitive dysfunction.  Their initial electroencephalogram (EEGs) were considered slightly slow, but within normal limits.  Quantitative EEG (QEEG) data included relative theta excess and low alpha mean frequencies.  A combined treatment of antiepileptic drugs with a catecholamine agonist/reuptake inhibitor was sequentially used.  Both patients’ physical and cognitive functions improve and they have remained seizure free.  The clinical outcomes were correlated with statistically significant changes in QEEG measures toward normal Z-scores in both anterior and posterior regions.  In addition, low resolution electromagnetic tomography (LORETA) Z-scored source correlation analyses of the initial and treated QEEG data showed normalized patterns, supporting a neuroanatomic resolution.

“A healthy brain automatically balances itself and the other bodily systems 24/7; yet, inherited differences in brain function can impair these interactions and cause persistent distress. This study presents evidence for a neurophysiologic approach to patients with epilepsy and comorbid mental disorders and provides a method for further research and therapeutic approach that sorts and treats the physical in mental disorders,” says Dr. Hamlin Emory, M.D.
