Electrophysiological techniques in the assessment of aging brain: lacunar state and differential diagnosis.
The authors briefly describe EEG, stimulus and event-related potential findings in two main subtypes of dementia (senile dementia of the Alzheimer type and multi-infarct dementia with lacunar state), suggesting the proper use of these electrophysiological techniques in the differential diagnosis and management of patients.
