Brain network dysfunction in bipolar disorder.
Bipolar disorder may arise from abnormalities within networks like
the the anterior limbic network, not a localized lesion.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=16641836

EEG topography and tomography for pharmacodynamics of psychotropic drugs.
Shows how pharmaco-EEG topography and tomography assist in
neuropsychopharmacology and clinical psychiatry.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=16733939

Impaired functional connectivity at alpha and theta bands in major
depression.
Right anterior and left posterior brain areas may discriminate
depressive patients from controls in terms of connectivity.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=16779797

Frontal EEG Asymmetry, Emotional Intelligence, and Externalizing Behaviors
Emotional intelligence and frontal EEG asymmetry at rest are
independent predictors of child externalizing behaviors.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=16369699

EEG power correlations in patients with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
OCD patients show slower overall frequency, mostly in frontal sites,
and EEG power correlated with scales measures of obsessions and
compulsions.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=16554100

Functional connectivity between hemispheres and schizophrenic symptoms
Increases in frontal beta coherence was associated with improvements
in treating positive symptoms of schizophrenia.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=16475479

Frontal EEG asymmetry and premenstrual dysphoric symptomatology.
Low premenstrual dysphoric symptom report was associated with greater
left frontal activity at rest than women reporting high degree of
symptoms.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=16492109

Composition of brain oscillations in ongoing EEG during major
depression disorder.
Major depression affects brain activity in most of the cortex and
across much of the frequency spectrum.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?cmd=Retrieve&db=PubMed&list_uids=16860895

Frontal EEG asymmetry and the risk for anxiety and depression.
Frontal EEG alpha asymmetry was related to risk for anxiety and
depression in young adult females only.
