Visual and Quantitative Electroencephalographic Analysis in Healthy Term Neonates Within the First Six Hours and the Third Day of Life

In healthy term neonates, immature electroencephalographic patterns, lack of clearly defined sleep-wake cycles, and frequent transients can be considered normal electroencephalographic findings in the first six hours of life. Normative power spectrum data are provided. These findings suggest that neonatal adaptation immediately after birth leads to transient changes in brain function.
