    Abstract Focal slowing on the EEG is often associated with structural pathology of the brain. Despite the clinical significance of focal slowing, the actual electrochemical mechanisms underlying this EEG phenomenon are still poorly understood. This paper briefly reviews the role of lactate in the pathogenesis of brain disorders that are primarily related to focal EEG slowing. An attempt is made to trace the hypothetical link between this EEG pattern and focal cerebral tissue lactacidosis.

    Abstract Introduction: The Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development-third edition (Bayley-III) is one of the most widely used tools for assessing child development, and adapted versions of this instrument have been successfully used in many countries. No comprehensive psychometric studies of the Bayley-III have yet been performed in Russia.
    Materials and methods: This psychometric study was part of the longitudinal study conducted by the Ural Federal University in 2016-2020. Within the project, the original Bayley-III manual was translated into Russian and then used in a cohort of 333 infants to assess cognition, expressive/receptive communication, and fine/gross motor skills. For the purpose of psychometric analysis, we selected the data for four age groups of children from the longitudinal study database: 4-6 months (
    Results: The average scaled scores of the examined children were generally comparable with the original (US) Bayley-III norms, with the exception of those older than 1 year, who demonstrated 1.2-1.9 points better performance in cognitive development and gross motor skills and 0.9-2.6 points lower performance in expressive communication. The correlation of both raw and scaled scores between different scales was low to moderate in all age groups (Spearman's ρ mostly within the range of 0.3-0.6;
    Conclusion: The Russian version of the Bayley-III proved to be a psychometrically valid and reliable tool for assessing child development, at least in a research context. The development of the examined children was close to the original US norms, with some deviation in cognitive, gross motor, and expressive communication scores mostly in older children, which could be attributed to the biased sample.

  3. Article: More than just immaturity: evidence supporting the hypothesis that sleep spindle characteristics reflect GABAergic depolarization in infancy.

    Abstract Sleep spindles are thalamocortical oscillations with waxing-waning morphology, which comprise the key electroencephalographic (EEG) hallmark of stage 2 non-rapid eye movement sleep. The functional role of sleep spindles is not sufficiently clear, but there is a large body of literature that indicates the relationship between spindle activity and neural plasticity. Many of the spindle parameters (frequency, configuration, duration, density, and topography) vary significantly throughout life. However, the long duration, asynchrony and sharp morphology are the most distinctive characteristics of sleep spindles in infants. This unique infantile phenotype of sleep spindles typically changes after approximately one year of postnatal life in humans. Considering that EEG reflects brain electrochemical activity, there is evidence to suggest that substantial neurochemical events underlie these changes. In this paper, we hypothesize that the GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) shift is a key event influencing the sleep spindle phenotype during infancy. We briefly review evidence for the relation between infantile sleep spindles and depolarizing GABA transmission occurring in the developing brain.

    Abstract Periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges (PLEDs) or lateralized periodic discharges (LPDs) are a well-known variant of pathological EEG activity. However, the mechanisms underpinning the appearance of this pattern are not completely understood. The heterogeneity of the features derived from LPDs patterns, and the wide range of pathological conditions in which they occur, raise a question about the unifying mechanisms underlying these phenomena. This paper reassesses the current opinion surrounding LPDs which considers glutamate excitotoxicity to be the primary pathophysiological basis, and the penumbral region to be the main morphological substrate. Arguments in favour of this hypothesis are presented, with interpretations supported by evidence from recent literature involving clinical and experimental data. Presently, no single hypothesis places considerable emphasis on the pathochemical properties of LPDs, which are implicitly meaningful towards better understanding of the clinical significance of this pattern.
