by Morey RA et al Abstract CONTEXT Smaller hippocampal volumes are well established in posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), but the relatively few studies of amygdala volume in PTSD have produced equivocal results. OBJECTIVE To assess a large cohort of recent military veterans with PTSD and trauma-exposed control subjects, with sufficient power to perform a definitive [...]

The Development of Hub Architecture in the Human Functional Brain Network
by Kai Hwang, Michael N. Hallquist and Beatriz Luna Abstract Functional hubs are brain regions that play a crucial role in facilitating communication among parallel, distributed brain networks. The developmental emergence and stability of hubs, however, is not well understood. The current study used measures of network topology drawn from graph theory to investigate the [...]

by Isaak and Bayley. open access article: http://www.frontiersin.org/Human_Neuroscience/10.3389/fnhum.2012.00269/full it’s comment to “Decrease of prefrontal–posterior EEG coherence: Loose control during social–emotional stimulation” by Reiser et al : Abstract In two experiments we aimed to investigate if individual differences in state-dependent decreases or increases of EEG coherence between prefrontal and posterior cortical regions may be indicative of [...]

by Park and Park Summary Objectives The present study examined changes in electroencephalogram (EEG) and heart rate variability (HRV) parameters during paced breathing (PB) and their relationships with self-reported personality traits. Methods Fifty-eight meditation-naive subjects (36 men, 22 women) ranging in age from 20 to 30 years completed the Temperament and Character Inventory (TCI). After [...]

The attached recordings were provided by Dr. Tom Boone of Mississippi, and show an interesting case. The individual’s QEEG traces and maps are shown. The individual clearly has abnormal amplitudes in Alpha, Beta, and High Beta, and associated coherence and phase abnormalities. The question is how to proceed with Live Z Score (LZT) training in [...]
