title: Electroencephalography (EEG) in the differential diagnosis of dementia.
abstract: Recent technical advances in neurodiagnostic procedures have improved significantly our knowledge of the pathophysiology of a number of disease processes and how they relate to behavioral manifestation. This paper focuses on advances in electroencephalography (EEG) and the implications that this growing body of research has for the diagnosis of suspected brain disorders in older patients.
